The source being a tweet from clear right wing nutcase. Not gonna waste my time looking through his tweets to learn that he thinks there are "election fraud" in AZ.

I'm not a labor economist and know nothing about job reports. A quick read into the technical notes mentions that there are two separate surveys and the 528k number comes from the second establishment numbers (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.b.htm).
