Gee if only there were a more reliable source of data?

How about the IRS, which always knows exactly how many jobs exist?
It makes no sense. The BLS numbers are garbage data, clearly defined for manipulation and vagueness, when more accurate data sources exist yet are not published (publicly). And no one calls them on it. The argument is just who is doing a better or worst job collecting and skewing the useless garbage data.
Bingo!
