The article says:

The country added 57.7k workers for a grand total of 21.72 million in March. Unfortunately the economy also lost 2.2k jobs over that same month.

I read it as

  • +58k new workers
  • -2k jobs

So we've net lost jobs, while we've grown the workforce. At least by my reading.

So a total of ~60k less job vacancies?

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I'd phrase it as 60k people without jobs. But basically, yeah.

Yup, I read that backwards.
