BLSBureau of Labor Statistics GallupUnemployment
Gallup tracks daily the percentage of U.S. adults, aged 18 and older, who are underemployed, unemployed, and employed full-time for an employer, without seasonal adjustment. Due to the lack of Arima-X 'magic' the results are specifically not comparable to the BLS data, but, as the chart below suggests, the correlation is high. What is most worrying about the latest data is the rapid rise in both unemployment and underemployment that the Gallup poll finds (to 8.9% unemployment and 17.9% underemployment. Unemployment rates have jumped notably in the last month to their highest in 13 months. Will the Fed 'allow' this data to filter into the BLS data and 'avoid the Taper' or are there non-economic reasons (G-20, deficits, technicals, sentiment) that the Fed needs to SepTaper.

Could you please explain the methodological differences between Gallup and BLS and why, on the basis of those differences or proven instances of BLS,dishonesty (actually proven, not unsupported claims), you consider Gallup more accurate?By Tyler Durden's

I thought not.

I thought not.
Since you are so interested in the differences of methodology, why haven't you explained it to all of us. Surely your superior logic can explain the differences better than all of us.
Why are you so afraid to defend the claims you post? That is kinda your responsibility. You tend to run when challenged though.
Seems I don't respond to Progressive Pavlovian cues. If you insist.

Gallup's unadjusted unemployment rate ... the BLS uses, and because of some differences in the ... of public opinion polls. For more details on Gallup's ...
BLS: representative sample survey based on Census data, of 60,000 households a month using the week that contains the 12th as the reference period. Eligible participants are age 15 and older (only 16+ is published) not in the military, prison, or an institution. Households are in the survey 4 months, out for 8, back in for 4. 75% of the sample is the same in consecutive months and 50% the same for the same month in consecutive years. Initial and returning household are personal interviews, subsequent months can be by phone. Margin of error at 90% confidence is +/- 0.2 percentage points.Since you are so interested in the differences of methodology, why haven't you explained it to all of us.

Gallup uses random digit dialing to poll around 1,000 people a day and uses a 30 day rolling average. It uses the same definitions as BLS except has to have a min age of 18. No constancy of the sample month to month. Margin of error at 90% confidence is +/- 0.7%.
So now can you explain why you think a poll wit smaller sample, larger error, and not as extensive is more accurate?
I have a mental bet as to whether you'll even try to defend Gallup as more accurate.
