Tracking unemployment...

The ADP employment report today wasn't good - http://www.adpemploymentreport.com/pdf/FINAL_Report_December_08.pdf

1-in-6 private sector employees are paid via ADP. So they do have good amount of data to come up with credible numbers.

Tomorrow we'll have weekly jobless claim report and monster employment index report. Some charts I play with for tracking unemployment...
