yea, something like that, expect I think the number reps the number of employees in the states instead of the numbers
investopedia.com/terms/n/nonfarmpayroll.asp

in the recent years the number has always been negative due to the recession. At first i thought the number was all supposed to be negative which was the reason that didn't make any sense to me. then i realized that its because we are in another depression
