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.

So, what you’re saying is: 400K people signed up for unemployment for the first time yet 403K found a job? (4 weeks X 3K = 12K increase in jobs - rounding involved)
Still don’t believe it.

216K
Just re-read the story.
So 400K filed for the first time but 500K others found jobs.
Even harder to believe.
