Lots of part-time Christmas hires.
There will be a big drop in the January and February numbers.
And, 375,000 is NOT the number who randomly change jobs on average every month.
During the Clinton and Bush excellent years, that number was about 275,000.
So, in reality, jobs are being truly lost in that mix. And, so many actual JOBS have gone away that there are no SLOTS unfilled for economic reasons for workers to return to.
Obama has not just killed employment, he has killed SLOTS due to closed, down-sized, shipped overseas, and bankrupt businesses.

Nope, the numbers are seasonally adjusted. I said months ago that given the massive monetary growth Bernanke has fostered, the economy would be picking up going into 2012. It’s happening, and it’s likely to continue.
We won’t win the next election by concentrating on a failing economy, because it’s improving. A better strategy will be to concentrate on all the regulations Obama and his czars have implemented that have frustrated normal economic growth, because you’re right, the growth we’re seeing is anemic compared to normal recoveries.
With higher taxes, more regulations, manufactured crises, Cloward-Piven strategy and a general anti-business, anti-capitalist stance, Obama ought to be tried for treason. Trying to destroy our economy that six generations have built. Grrrr.
We have Obama, the czars, Ayers, Van Jones, Corzine, Holder, Trumpka, Unions, SEIU, DSA, CPUSA, ACORN, (renamed), the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Congressional Black Caucus - they're all socialists/communists at heart. When is America going to wake up? Throw them all out on November 6, 2012!
As an aside, how come - from Rasmussen - 76-80% (varies on the day - today it's "19% think America is heading in the right direction") of Americans think we're "going in the wrong direction", yet Obama is ahead of Newt by 10 points? Can someone explain how that works?
