Isn't the sample size miniscule to make such a big statement?
- krisgenre 6y agoSorry, the actual article title goes "70% of surveyed Americans" but it has been edited here.
- blululu 6y agoWell that sample size would give an 95% confidence interval of ~ 2.8%. I don't think '68% of Americans' changes the story here. The main methodological problem is that only sampled employed Americans (Labor Force participation is ~60%), so it should really read '70% of American Workers'.
- asdff 6y agoIt is definitely biased.
