This year should be its 50th year of dividend growth, which would put it into the noble class of Dividend Kings.What's even more impressive about ADP is that it hasn't been making a habit of giving investors paltry annual raises to keep its streak alive. For example, it raised its payment by 12% last year. Add in its above-average dividen ...
