A simple arithmetic response from a very simple arithmetician:

24400000 jobs divided by 111 months = 219 820 new jobs per month on average 364000 jobs divided by 4 months = 91 000 jobs lost per month on average

And the average month since May is therefore 310820 worse than the average month between 2/92 and 5/01.

Or not?

Cheers, Rob.
