The # in the first bar is one of THREE numbers of net jobs. Thus, my question.

What I want to know is where in this article is the net gain or loss in the total work force. Here I make the assumption that one job equals one worker.

IOW:

B) Total work force In latest month = ___________?
A) Total workforce on day 1 Obama = ______________________________________?

B ) minus A ) = ____________________________________? Designate if gain or loss in total work force.

The bars are labeled and dated in the graph. They're from this link:

Total nonfarm: All Employees, Thousands, SA

There you go. I don't really know what you are looking for, so now you can figure it out for yourself.
