Evidently the Labor Department admits they miscategorized about 5 million workers, so the numbers are indeed higher than what was reported. But they said they are not going to correct the number to avoid any appearing of manipulation.

The 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.

Had the mistake been corrected, the unemployment rate would have risen to 16.1 percent in May. But the corrected April figure would have been more than than 19 percent, rather than 14.7 percent.
