Good news, bad news

Let’s see the spin on this one: evidently there were more than 300,000 new jobs in March. But unemployment also grew.
So basically, it seems that the new jobs were offset (and more) by the loss of jobs. Weird.
Also, part of that 300,000 figure is the return to work of striking grocery workers in California. So, in other words, even though their jobs weren’t new, they’re being counted as such.
Weird.
