Well if you read the actual press release, you can see that employment actually fell by 97,000, and unemployment is UP by 251,000. Does that sound "good" to you?

Not seasonally adjusted Seasonally adjusted (1) Willie,
I looked in the chart and couldn't find it.

But I did find this: (the wrap when I pasted it makes it obscure...)

The 2nd and 4th columns are BOTH Feb.2004 and are not seasonally adjusted...

Employment status, race, sex, and age

Feb. Jan. Feb. Feb. Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb.

2004 2005 2005 2004 2004 2004 2004 2005 2005

It's pretty tough to miss...
Right at the top of Table A, under "Household data"...
The figures for the Jan to February change in employment and unemployment are in the far right column (in thousands)
