The unemployment rate went down another tenth of a percent according to those figures so apparently the economy is keeping up with labor force growth. Actually I wouldn't read much in to the unrevised (or even the later revised) figures for one month. The totals jump around so much from month to month, there is concern the feds are manipulating the numbers per White House instructions. Manipulation is always something of a concern, as it just plain inaccuracy, but I don't think the fed is likely to take Bush's orders. In any case jumping around a lot is not all that unusual.
