In case you haven't been paying attention, the data for November seems to be off to a blazing stat.

We had a good manufacturing report on Monday.

Yesterday we got very strong November car sales.

And today we had a lights-out ADP jobs report.

And two is that for those people who are obsessed with the Fed's next move, a strong number could put the Fed strongly into "taper in December" camp, meaning that the long-awaited commencement of the wind-down of Quantitative Easing would be here.

Analysts are looking for about 200K new jobs and a drop in the unemployment rate to 7.2% (from 7.3%). Get excited.
