That's the way both surveys work. And have for decades. A change in administrations doesn't change the methodologies.
Both ask respondents for status at a point in time...it is binary - you are either employed (under the definitions of each of the two surveys), or you are not.
The number is then compared with that from the previous period.
There's little statistical value in a gross number of jobs "created"...the value is in the number of people employed.
It's not "theirs"....it's BLS's.
Of course it does, you dumb ****...it is why it is "NET".
