Wasn't it the household survey that they rejected in terms of "jobs created?" The survey was showing far more individually employed jobs.

But they use it for the UE rate?

Why the difference?

The Household survey only included 60,000 households, whereas the CES, which calculates nonfarm payrolls gets its info from a much larger pool. It is thought however that the CES misses startups and new small businesses.
