Trucking Jobs Increase

WASHINGTON  — Three days after voters registered their sourness about the U.S. economy, the government said Friday that employers added a solid 214,000 jobs in October, extending the healthiest pace of hiring in eight years.  

For-hire trucking added 3,900 jobs in October, bringing the total number added in 2014 to 32,600, according to the Labor Department.Analysts say the economic expansion remains strong enough to support the current pace of hiring.
