Nonfarm Employment Change release

Hello all, just curious about the above release. On the economic calender here at FF I noticed that there was a decline in the nonfarm employment number for the US. From what I read, a declining trend is not good for the country (not sure if this is true). However, the US currency gained value against quite a few other currencies. Can someone explain to me why this is so?

thanks.

Here is the ongoing current NFP thread:

In short, the part of today's NFP that carried the most weight was the revision to the increase of jobs for last month. Prior 128k revised to 188k.
