Employers added 337,000 people to their payrolls in October, far exceeding economists' predictions. The Bush Administration credits the President's tax relief, monetary policy, and the strength of the small business sector with the recovery. However, much job growth can be attributed to temporary employment services which is typically lower-paying work that doesn't offer heath insurance and other benefits.
