I keep adding the source for this, but the text editing software refuses to accept it. It shows up in the "Preview" mode, but it's deleted in the final version. I had this problem last month too. I don't know what's wrong. Can someone look into this? Thanks.

MarketWatch reported a median forecast of a gain of 205,000 from ADP today and 205,00 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Friday.
