The 280,000 number is seasonally adjusted. In reality, 970,000 jobs were added to the economy in May. When we adjust that to take away seasonal work, the gain is 280,000.

Oh, and the number of part time workers decreased by 23,000.  

April part time workers: 26,636,000
May part time workers: 26,613,000

Change in part time workers: -23,000

Just out of curiosity, KarlRove, where do you get these ideas?  Are you reading them somewhere, or do you simply make them up to combat reality when it doesn't agree with the republican party line?
