OK net job loss of 63,000 for the month and unemployment rate goes down? Are these figures computed by the same ones who do the balanced budget calculations?

The payrolls and th unemployment rate are calculated based on two different surveys, which is why they sometimes move in different directions. And they are just that, surveys. Not actually a full counting, so take it for what you will. There are margins of error involved.

Maybe more than 63,000 illegals went back to Mexico...
