The household survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics provides estimates of the number of workers with jobs, while the establishment survey provides estimates of the number of workers on firms' payrolls. This is because the household survey is a survey of households and individuals, which asks about employment status, while the establishment survey is a survey of employers and asks about the number of employees on their payroll.
