(Mis)Understanding the Birth Death Adjustment.

How many of the new jobs were hypothesized ( faked ) by the US Bureau of Labor , rather than actually measured.

[adorno]

18.5% underemployment, representing the official unemployment rate plus the part-time workers...

but,

Is there any place where that last figure is accurately kept?
