The private sector accounted for all the new jobs in March, adding 230,000 positions after February's 240,000 increase. Government employment fell 14,000, declining for a fifth straight month as local governments let go 15,000 workers.

Does anybody believe this? Weekly job loss totals were a negative so how does the monthly increase?

The jobless claims are the total # of people who filed for unemployment for the 1st time.

The jobless claims DON’T count how many people found a job.

The non-farm payrolls are from a separate survey of employers.
