85. As jobs increase we will see a temporary increase |

in unemployment. This is because the unemployment rate in general use only includes those people who are actively looking for work. There are many people that want work but have been discouraged and didn't look for work in the last 4(?) weeks and are not included in the unemployment rate. Once people start hearing that jobs are returning, they will start looking for work again, raising the unemployment rate. You should also note that 75,000 more people are age 20 or older in March than in Feb.
