Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report for February is likely to come in way above consensus estimates, reinforcing the trend seen in January’s data, according to a pair of Wall Street firms.Economists at Deutsche Bank DB expect to see a job gain of 300,000, citing February’s mild weather as one likely influence. Aneta Markowska and Thomas Simons, economists at Jefferies JEF, said they foresee a gain of 290,000 for last month.
