Based on the data series cited in the article, there have been about 2.4 million full time jobs added year to date and there was an increase of over 1 million in September and October alone. When dealing with labor data, it is important to remember that (1) it is a survey, (2) the series cited here is highly volatile, (3) and the data is subject to revision. One should not focus on a single data point, but instead focus on the longer term trends.

If you're referring to the government monthly job creation numbers, that's not just for full time, but for part time, temp (not including holiday hiring), etc.

Of course, the job creation number of 321,000 released by the government clearly contradicts their own numbers for full time jobs lost and part time jobs gained.
