"Manufacturing was up significantly to its highest job gains since May, possibly signaling an improvement in industrial production," said Ahu Yildirmaz, head of the ADP Research Institute. "Transportation had its best month since February. The government has instituted measures recently to support the transportation industry. Planned layoffs at Air France could yet slow this sector down in the coming months."
