The summary of the BLS report is completely wrong. The 380,000 is the new monthly hires, which is the highest month since the recession. We’re still over a million jobs away from manufacturing employment levels since the start of the recession.
Fun fact: From the start of Bush’s presidency until the height of the economy (Fall of 2007), over 1 million more manufacturing jobs were lost (17.1m - 13.75m = 3.35m vs 13.75m - 11.45m) than from the start of the recession until the lowest point of manufacturing jobs post-recession in February/March 2010.
