I think you should read this:http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2014-05-05/jobs-report-was-fact-disaster
Did not know this....zero hedge is pretty good at explaining things the MSM will not:
Put it this way. If you go from one solid full time job to working as a waiter, cab driver, and tossing pizzas, the establishment survey will show that the economy created TWO jobs (one job lost plus three started= two jobs net) whereas the household survey will show NO growth (one person lost a job and started working elsewhere).
With this in mind, you should be paying attention to the household survey. The household survey shows 73,000 jobs were LOST. This negates the claim that 288,000 were created.
