Yup.
But the "number that needs to be hit to demonstrate that we're on our way to recovery" or somesuch, was 375K last week.
Revised up from 300K not too long ago. And Within the last couple of years, it's been as low as 125K.
It's like the MSM blaming "unexpectedly high" job losses on the NYC Spring Break last week. Lies, all.
