Job Creation Data Gathering
Newscasts frequently report the number of jobs created for the previous month. I assumed that the numbers were coming from all U.S. companies with employees. Yesterday, I learned that this number is taken from major corporations, not all businesses (Not even a sample of all businesses). Even more disturbing, these major corps provide less than 1% of all jobs in this country and are never the source of the most jobs in the U.S.

I plan to do further research on this data gathering claim. The source was a business seminar. I'll let you know if I learn anything different and would appreciate hearing from you, if you have further information.
