November saw a big surprise in politics and a major jump in job creation south of the border.
A report Wednesday from ADP shows private companies in the U.S. added a net 216,000 positions during the month, smashing the 165,000 estimate from economists and marking the best month since June, and nearly double the 119,000 in October, which was revised lower from the originally reported 147,000.
The spike in hiring came amid Donald's Trump's shocking upset in the presidential race and against expectations that the U.S. job market was reaching a full employment condition that would cause payroll growth to slow.
The ADP report shows services dominated the month, with the sector adding 228,000 positions, while goods-producing industries lost 11,000 jobs.
Within the broad services sector, trade, transportation and utilities created 69,000 jobs while professional and business services contributed 68,000, led by 47,000 in administrative and support services.
The U.S. Labor Department is out this Friday with its jobs report for November.
