Last month many hear were trashing the payroll survey as unreliable when numbers came in below expectations. They pointed to the household survey as the one to watch.
This month the payroll numbers are up and the report seems to carry more credence with Freepers. Strangely, little is heard about the household survey which was relatively flat.

Let me straighten things out for you, Dilworth Pansy:

Last month many hear were trashing the payroll survey as unreliable when numbers came in below expectations.

The payroll survery IS unreliable in that it does not report a full picture of employment, only a large segment.

They pointed to the household survey as the one to watch.

It's kind of volatile, but that would be nice, since we would've gotten the +600k number last month PLUS the UE drop this .... but the media fixates on the payroll survey so that's where the attention goes.

This month the payroll numbers are up and the report seems to carry more credence with Freepers.

Because it is the one the media focuses on and has been a yardstick by which they measure Bush.

Strangely, little is heard about the household survey which was relatively flat.

Helloooooooo, the household survey is the one showing unemployment dropping to 5.4%.
