"Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 175,000 in February, and the unemployment rate was little changed at 6.7 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today." - Employment Situation Summary, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

See, there's a reason the unemployment is belittled and expressed as a funny numbers percentage.

It's so most you can't do the math easily.

The unemployment was not little changed by person count.

Actually, 222,000 people became unemployed in February, not such a little change is it now, aye.

If you do the math we can see there's a difference: 175,000 - 222,000 = -47,000.

That's the main reason for the goofy expressions they use.

It's so you don't see the real change.
