Household survey not exactly jiving with the establishment survey. It was doing the same during Biden administration and ended up more accurate IIRC.

BLS Household Survey

It says “Employment status of the civilian population by nativity and sex, not seasonally adjusted”… It compares just March 2025 and March 2026. Natives/non natives over 16 and men and women.

I don’t really know what to compare it to, usually the reports I’ve looked at break things out by sector and are typically seasonally adjusted.

Unnecessary jobs. As in, a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. Do you like to waste taxpayer dollars?

Almost all of the losses in the household survey are in the transportation, construction, a maintenance occupations.

Office jobs are essentially unchanged.

The government could fire 50% of the people and spending would not change. Average Joe worker is not the problem

Who wastes more tax payer dollars. The average government salary or elected officials?

You’re talking about the establishment survey which has had a lot of well documented issues. They’re both reported each month. Unemployment rate, for example, comes from household survey.

Correct. It’s all of the non-workers that get a check for nada.

That’s not what this survey checks. It doesn’t duplicate jobs.
