Summary: Stocks were little changed at Wednesday's opening bell as investors focus on a load of economic data releasing throughout the day. The private sector added 208,000 jobs in November, less than economists were expecting but still growing at a decent pace. The ADP tally comes before the government's jobs report out Friday. The Labor Department says U.S. worker productivity increased in the third quarter at a rate of above 2%. Labor costs fell for a second straight quarter. Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) is starting the day lower after disappointing earnings results. The teen retailer reported a 10% drop in same-store sales and gave a lower than expected full year guidance. Peers in the retail space, Guess (GES) and Aeropostale (ARO) will reveal its results after the markets close.
