Link to tweet
Labor Department admitted that government household survey-takers mistakenly counted about 4.9 million temporarily laid-off people as employed.
The government doesn't correct its survey results for fear of the appearance of political manipulation.
"..said the real May rate is worse than the numbers indicate".
