What gets counted as "jobs" and who gets counted as "working"?
You will see reports here for both the number of "jobs" and the number of people "working".
There are two parts of the BLS numbers:
1) The "jobs numbers" refer to the Establishment Report; that is, employing "establishments". This is basically what is included and excluded in the Establishment report:
There are two parts of the BLS numbers:
1) The "jobs numbers" refer to the Establishment Report; that is, employing "establishments". This is basically what is included and excluded in the Establishment report:
"Employment data refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for any part of the pay period that includes the 12th day of the month. Data exclude proprietors, the unincorporated self-employed, unpaid volunteer or family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers. Salaried officers of corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are excluded. Employees of the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency also are excluded." (Found HERE.)
Therefore, independent contractors who are paid as 1099 employees would NOT be included in those numbers, neither would people starting their own small businesses, whether incorporated self-employed or non-incorporated self-employed. Farmers would also NOT be considered in the monthly "jobs" reports.
2) However, the Current Population Survey counts people from their own perspective; in other words, it doesn't talk to employers, it talks to people. It asks people if they are working for money in any given month. This is the study from which we get the unemployment rate and the number of people "working". Independent contractors are included in that count.

The count of people who are employed is always higher by some 9,000,000 people as it includes farmers and people who are self-employed along with a few other groups of workers. There were about 9,615,000 unincorporated self-employed workers in July 2012, so this is where independent contractors would be reported. There were also about 5,256,000 incorporated self-employed workers in July 2012.
(Note: All of my employment number reports are based on monthly reports and data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Monthly numbers reports are based on the monthly Employment Situation Report. The Employment Situation report includes month over month and year over year jobs numbers. My analysis is taken from the monthly BLS data copied to an Excel spreadsheet every month. I calculate detailed percentage increases/decreases, 3 month numbers, 2011 to date numbers, and I compare jobs numbers to those at the time of Obama's inauguration and at the "trough" of the recession.)
