Mr. John McKeon:

Perhaps I could quickly finish this point. There are 15 broad sectors of employment. Random surveys would require 1,000 surveys in each sector, which would mean 15,000 surveys. We would be going to an employer, seeking employment records and interviewing HR managers. It would be very intrusive.
