The number of jobs needed to keep pace with an expanding work force is not static. As different demographic cohorts reach working age it varies. I don't know what the current number is, but you can't just apply 150K as a constant if you want to be accurate.

Yes, you can. Its based on the growth of the labor force including legal immigration. Its a rough average.....it acts as a guidepost.
