The US economy shows more signs of recovery with a new report showing private sector job growth surging upward in December 2011.

Payroll-processing firm ADP reports that 325,000 private sector jobs were added in December, up from 204,000 in November. That is the largest gain since December 2010, and 145,000 more than economists expected.

The US economy has steadily added private sector jobs since the passage of economic stimulus in 2009, though Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney falsely claimed no jobs had been created.
