Private payrolls rose by just 22,000 in January, far short of expectations, ADP says

Private companies added just 22,000 positions for the month and the number would have been negative had it not been for a surge of 74,000 hires in the education and health services category. The total was less than the downwardly revised 37,000 increase in December and below the Dow Jones consensus forecast for 45,000.

So trump is beginning his attack on the economy. We thought the jobs number from December was bad. Hold onto your hats. It is going to get worse,
