Than are being lost

Hi teachers,

The data suggest that the economy, now growing at a rate above its historical trend, may be creating more jobs than are being lost.

>> Is it the economy may be creating more jobs than the economy are losing jobs?

Can you please rewrite the last part "than are being lost." for me?

Thank you.

The author of the sentence thinks that it is possible that the total number of jobs is increasing even though some jobs are lost. The increase is due to the fact that new jobs are created at the same time. CB
