588.000 jobs where killed in the same time - BUT THAT DOESN`T COUNT

if you want to make a trump supporter happy, just put a big piece of shit in a nice populist gift wrapper and you make him happy.
Don't forget the 400,000+ government workers who on furlough due to the government shutdown. However, due to the shutdown happening during the month, that statistic was not considered and they will only be counted in the month of January report.

So regardless if the 312k new jobs is gross or net, the actual result is a negative growth rate when you factor in all conditions.
