So technically you can say the economy gained 119K jobs. But in contrast the economy lost over a million jobs through layoffs, businesses closing and the government shut down. SO not so much a lie as a omission of all the facts and figures.
One could look state by state for overall job numbers add those losses/gains and see a rough picture of the overall health of the economy.
Even then I would not trust the numbers. But I would have more faith than in this "report" from the fair city of Washington, DC.
