Depends how you look at it.

Annualized (based on working days) it represents 93k for FY2016 which would be an increase of 18% over FY2015. That would be in line with DOL forecasts if they were granted the extra resource requested in the budget plan.

It's 38% higher than the corresponding period in FY2015.

It's around 12% lower than the monthly average for Q4 FY2015.

Take your pick.
