Still, Walker was quick to remind us that the CES is the far more accurate measurement of employment because it tracks a large number of employers in a state rather than the more narrow survey called the Current Population Survey (CPS). Fair enough. According to the CES data , the employment numbers during the period commencing in June 2001 through January, 2008 were as follows:
June 2001: 132,047,000 people employed
January 2008: 137,996,000 people employed
Total Increase: 5,949,000 more people employed.
If we use the alternate survey measurement, the Current Population Survey (CPS), which, as noted above, collects data via a smaller survey of individuals and families and produces the numbers used to deliver us the monthly unemployment ratea measurement Scott Walker considered less reliable and subject to revision by the CES results the numbers appear a bit better.
June 2001: 136,873,000 people employed
January 2008: 146,407,000 people employed
Total Increase: 9,534,000 more people employed
