"Joined the Job Market" means "started looking for work." In a jobs report number... these would be added to the denominator. In otherwords, that's exactly why republicans(and moderates) are confused. The Job number increased by 114,000. 418,000 entered the market. The entered the market number would be put in the denominator.
If you were to compute the unemployement numbers just based on those two numbers... Unemployment would be 27.3%
Instead unemployment went down .2%.
It's not surprising people are confused who don't know the ins and outs of the jobs report.
What's more confusing is people who don't see why someone would be confused. Espiecally people who don't know the job report.
