[PEN-L:4066] establishment versus household surveys

Dear Pensters: I am about to say something in print that I recall being true, but I think I should run it past you to make sure. In general, isn't it the case that the establishment surveys are more reliable indicators of the level and distribution of employment than the household surveys? I
