This seems to claim the US created only 18,000
NET jobs last month.

The 150,000 new jobs claim may be accurate but the net figure takes into account lost jobs. You can have 150,000 new jobs (which seems realistic) but it doesn't help if 132,000 people lost their jobs at the same time (which also seems to make sense).
