The survey of*

means tested * * * * * * *108,502 * *Table 2
That is 141,067k full time workers out of Population of 306,804k people with 108,502k people receiving means tested benefits.
As the instructions for the survey data usage says that it cannot be compared directly to CPS and the survey has its own population estimate and employment estimate, why did CNS not just use the survey data?
BTW, there is nothing to suggest that some of those receiving benefits were also not working.
