Full time jobs decreased, part time jobs increased. They added those together and declared a net positive job growth.

Full time jobs not only didn’t decrease, they increased more than part time jobs in actual terms.

Part time jobs for economic reasons decreased while part time jobs for non economic reasons went up slightly.

You can calculate full/part time stuff from that page but it'd require a lot of number fidgeting. Keep in mind those values do not show grouped sums. Table 9 [1] is much more straight forward. Full time workers (in thousands) went from 134,189 to 134,167, part time workers went from 27,185 to 27,336. So a total of -22k full time jobs, and +151k part time jobs.

The big reported increase came from the establishment/business survey. That survey results in overcounting people working multiple jobs. And multiple job holders (also in table 9) jumped from 8,028 to 8,151, for 123k more people now working at least 2 jobs. So we saw a loss of full time jobs, a gain of part time jobs, and a gain of people working more than one job.
