the payroll count "climbed" by 919k? what does that even mean?
Its called addition, shua.
but who says something the number of something "climbed" by
x, if
x is the number of new jobs but
y is the number of old jobs lost? wouldn't the number by which something climbed be
x -
y? but even that is not what is happening.
okay - I looked into it, and here's the story as best as I can figure out: payroll did not climb 919k in one month. It climbed by that amount since last October. That's what I assume is meant by "annual October increase." If nearly a million jobs were created in one month it would be big news. As it stands if you type in "919000 jobs" into google, you get this forum discussion.
