Amberly, you seem like a bright lady. Would you care to explain how we added 178,000 November 2016 jobs, yet few people were working than 1 month prior? Boiler believes that the person who created this method of measurement was working hard to fool people. It sure sounds like more people are working if you assess the data from PJ and Amberly, but less people are working.
How can that be?

Jobs added in February 2017: 235,000
Jobs added in February 2016: 242,000
242,000 jobs added in February 2016
Job increases in February 2015 also were higher than February 2017, but I think I'm wasting my time here.
