I would agree with the above poster, and note that the "jobs data" is compiled from a monthly survey of families, not a list of "everyone working". Every year, they update the "survey data" to employer unemployment returns (which include quarterly detail of who works, and how often) to "benchmark" the data. The survey doesn't have the same level of benchmarking on small businesses and independent contractors.
