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.
Do you understand that the jobless claims and the non-farm payroll numbers are from two different surveys?
Plus, it’s apples and oranges in a second way:
The jobless claims are a GROSS number. It’s a grand total.
The non-farm payroll number is a NET number.
IOW, the non-farm payroll number (+216K, -175K, whatever it might be) is the DIFFERENCE — THE NET CHANGE — between the total non-farm payroll jobs in the prior month and the total non-farm payroll jobs in the current month.
