325,000 New Jobs in December

[Sundial]

Reuters) - Private-sector hiring surged in December as employers added 325,000 new workers while claims for jobless benefits fell, raising hope that recent labor market improvement would continue in 2012.

The ADP National Employment Report's December job tally surprised economists who had expected a 178,000 gain. It was also well above the 204,000 private jobs added in November.

"The number is stunning," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at John Thomas Financial in New York.

More good news for Democrats?

Didn't Boehner say something about Obama owning the economy back during the debt ceiling debacle? Am I misremembering? Google isn't helping for some reason.

Once you use up your 2 years of unemployment you fall off the stats... You are "officially" no longer looking for work...

Ask the unemployed if the picture is rosey out there...

Why would anyone want to bet against our economy? Millions of Americans are struggling and any spike in hiring is welcome news. I would find such a bet to be distasteful

Was kind of looking for a BLS link confirming it. You're the one making the claim after all, it only stands to reason you should be the one to do the work.

It's not as sick as the time I saw someone challenge someone to a bet on how many soldiers would get killed in Iraq in a given month but it's in the same city block.

All Americans should be glad that more jobs are becoming available, that auto companies are showing a profit, that the stock market has rebounded

It's time to put politics aside and root for your country
