How does Gallup.com come out with unemployment numbers everyday?
Gallup.com comes out with new numbers every day with things like obama approval and unemployment, I don't understand how they are able to come out with unemployment numbers every day? Are these just projections? Any ideas?
thanks

They call around 1,000 people every day for their Unemployment survey. Then they use a rolling average of the last 30 days to get the current number. Margin of error is +/- 0.7 percentage points

They poll people who are generally honest to strangers.
