Why do you think they all had jobs, or their jobs weren't at risk? All it says, afaik, is they asked 1000 parents.

- nickthegreek 6y agoSeems to me that would of been an important data point they could of gathered during the survey.
- darawk 6y agoCould be, but if you want to answer the question "what are most people worried about" the correct thing to do is ask a random sample of 1000 people, not just to ask the people who've lost jobs.
- scott_s 6y agoCorrect, but that's the question: is this a random sample, or do their methods have a selection bias?
- blakesterz 6y agoGood question, I didn't really mean all those people had jobs, I guess what I really meant was more like if you're not careful in choosing who you ask you'll end up with 1000 people who have safe jobs, or just a way larger percent of people who have safe jobs than do in the general population.
