[[500,000 mythical jobs created on American farms]]

I keep getting hung up on the farm jobs too, funny thing is we had a drought this year so you might have actually expected a drop in farm jobs.

I wonder if they somehow changed the definition of a farm job. In Maine the kids are released from school for a couple of weeks in the fall to dig potatoes, I bet they all got counted as full time employees.
Other than temporary harvesting work I can't imagine how they added so many workers.
