One would assume that the administration's economic team would get a heads-up from bureaucrats about the "real" number, but, alas, it seems that they do not, which is why there's a gap today between expectations -- fed by the administration -- and reality, about private sector job growth. To be sure, the administration projected that most of the May job would be Census hires ... but just not 95% of them.
