34. From BLS news release

The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for January was revised up by 34,000, from
+126,000 to +160,000, and the change for February was revised down by 41,000, from -92,000 to
-133,000.

By the way, the labels on those graphs are incorrect. They say "all employees on private nonfarm payrolls", but the numbers actually represent "total nonfarm payrolls" which includes government. (I understand they are coming from CNBC, but they are mislabeling them).
