Overestimate of 3 million jobs(claim was 1.8% rise when really 0.1% drop) so 333,000 more jobs lost

3 million divided into 9 parts for each of the .1% point differences that comprise the 0.9% overestimate, and the information that the actual employment dropped by 0.1% in the second quarter gives this 333,000 lost jobs number. They did not mention FULL TIME jobs, but I believe that this is the metric for the statistic.
