I am a little fuzzy on the math. Last month the unemployment was 10.2%. We lost 11,000 more jobs and the unemployment decreased by .2%. I do not understand how this can be. I must be missing something here. I am having a difficult time understand how an increase becomes a decrease.

I believe the the last 2 reports have been revised corrected.

Of course, even allowing for Freepers' distrust of the Obama administration, determining unemployment numbers in a nation of 300,000,000 isn't an exact science, and this can happen.
