There have been times in the past few months when total employment in the Household Survey has gone down and been more anemic as well. And you didn't hear anyone complaining about total employment decreasing in Household Survey when we adding 250,000+ in the CES during the spring. In other words, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Both surveys have their flaws, but overall the CES is more scientific, if for no other reason than its uses a sample of 400,000 businesses, while the Household Survey uses only a sample of 60,000.
