## Story

As we near the end of the 2016, the November jobs report shows that hiring is strong and the unemployment rate is low. But some problems still exist as Donald Trump is set to take over the White House. According to a recent Associated Press article covering the November jobs report, 178,000 jobs were added in November and the unemployment rate dipped to the lowest point in nine years at 4.6 percent.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, a growing franchise based in Michigan, is planning to add roughly 3,000 jobs in the first half of the new year as the brand continues to open new locations and expand into new and existing markets. Randy Shacka, President of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, told the Associated Press that they'd added a 401(k) plan and enhanced training to prepare for the addition of jobs.
