From Jim Puplava's Storm Watch Update from Jim Puplava May 7, 2004

the job numbers we get each month from the U.S. Department of Labor, which are another statistical work of fiction. Last month’s great jump in the job numbers was a real statistical miracle. The Department bases those numbers on two surveys. The first survey is known as the household survey and consists of a sample survey of 60,000 homes. The other survey is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and includes 160,000 businesses and government agencies. Last month nonfarm payrolls increased by a measly 7,000. After seasonal adjustments and statistical massaging, that number was magically transformed from a mere 7,000 to a magical market-busting 308,000.
