The 227,000 is the seasonally adjusted number from table B-1.

The raw [not seasonally adjusted number] is [131,164,000 - 130,313,000] or +851,000. However the +851,000 is achieved through the magic of the Birth and Death model which adds in +851,000.

So ... a raw number of 0 jobs created, after the application of two tools [Birth and Death Model and Seasonal Adjustment] becomes +227,000.
