Economist Bronars noted that in January 2012, nonfarm payroll grew by 275,000 after seasonal adjustment (even though unadjusted payroll declined by 2.67 million), the biggest single month gain in the past 30 months.
"Even though jobs are being created, people who gave up searching for work are coming back into the labor force and will be counted as unemployed until they find work," Bronars said.
