'The worst in quite some time': Trump hit by bad news as latest job numbers shock (www.rawstory.com)

Analysts were left shocked Wednesday after ADP released its latest jobs report that showed private employers had shed 32,000 jobs in September, a stark contrast to the expected gain of around 50,000 jobs.
