"February proved to be an incredibly strong month for employment with increases we have not seen in years,” said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute. “Gains were driven by a surge in the goods sector, while we also saw the information industry experience a notable increase."

1. Trump will be crowing over this one

Biggest increase in over a year, probably longer.

[George II]

3. Biggest increase EVER! Huge! Too bad all those jobs were in the works while Obama was President.

5. I hope he doesn't notice because the graph shows that's true

His ego is big enough.

8. Going back to 2014. Looks like there might have been a bigger one then. NT

10. He did crow in a tweet this morning.

2. Thanks Obama

Because after Trump dismantles all of Obama's reforms and crashes the economy again, they will blame it on Obama. Just you watch and see.

4. Any ideas on what fueled that job growth? Mild weather prompting early rehires in construction?

6. And, they all pay $85 and hour.

[AngryAmish]

7. This is truly Obama's economy.

9. What will be the public sector offset...

not to mention this is a real tiny number compared to 94 million unemployed!

Too bad we don't count "farm payrolls"!
