Edwin S. Rubenstein was the guy I was looking to quote instead of Bernie Sanders. I just couldn't remember his name.
Read some of his articles here and you may understand a bit more about how the unemployment numbers are tossed about.

"The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent in January, as 193,000 jobs were added to nonfarm payrolls. Januarys job gain fell short of expectations, which had hovered just shy of 250,000.
Yet
the other employment survey, based on households rather than businesses, shows that those job expectations were actually exceeded. A whopping 298,000 new jobs were created in January with the vast bulk going to Hispanics, according to the household employment survey.
