The Bureau of Labor Statistics measures employment in two ways. The Establishment Survey gathers data directly from 400,000 companies and then estimates how many Americans have payroll jobs. The Household Survey, based on surveys of 60,000 households, determines how many people are working and produces the unemployment rate.

So they 'estimate' by talking to 60,000 out of 200,000,000 or so. Yea, that's scientific. In other words it's a f****** guess at best at complete bull**** at worst. Toss the fact that this administration lies as easily as I breathe and I'm taking the latter.

They could talk to 200,000,000. Is that your suggestion?
