Has everybody filled out and mailed their 2010 census? You hear that advertisement all over the place: television, radio, banners, billboards! How much is it costing us taxpayers for all these expensive ads???? Hmmm... I could imagine thousands of dollars!! And for what? To get a citizens count every 10 years. It is an official count of a particular population. If it is just a head count of each person living in a given population, why is it broken down into gender, age and ethnicity? So, if there are only say for example, 2 Pacific Islanders in a given place, then they can link the two together and will know your identity? Right? This is not right, that is why many people are protesting the census! If that is the case, the census is invading each and every citizens privacy. Is thisunconstitutional??? Any ideas? Comments???The Census Bureau employed a lot of part time workers, and may add 750,000 more workers to its payroll by May! This is part of the reason why the unemployment went down! The pay is good, some start at $11.25 per hour and some at $15.25! Not a bad pay considering what your duties are! One of the journalist has written that she received some e-mails from the Census Bureau workers. One claims that this is the easiest job he has ever done! He goes out in a certain neighborhood and see to it, that the addresses on those that has filed already matches what is in the computer! He is not even required to key it in! He can easily finished 35 to 40 houses an hour! And what does his manager says to him? Slow down, take your time! If they do not slow down, they looked bad with others!! Ha? What others? The other places with the census workers? In a real world, in a real job, your manager will fire you if you are slow ar taking your time!!! He is making $15.25 an hour! I would like to have a job like this please! So, what did this worker do? Submitted his claim for 35 to 40 houses, for 2 hours,double his original time!!!! What is wrong with this picture??? Goodness gracious!!!! He told the journalist that he is really wasting taxpayers money! BIG TIME!!!Another worker e-mailed the journalist that he is to have a head count of homeless people in the park, streets and other areas, noting their race and gender. He claimed in one instance, the task was already done, but he was sent back to do a duplicate job!!! I cannot believe what is happening in the Census Bureau!Is this for real? Is the taxpayer's money really being misused in this instance??? Is our money being mishandled inappropriately? What is happening is so sad. Why are you sad? For one thing, it is not your personal money. It is everybody's money!!! True, but the money being wasted here can be put to better use, like housing for homeless people, more money for kids to go to higher education, or give the money to struggling people that cannot make ends meet because of the economy! If you were one of the workers, will you get satisfaction from this job, knowing you are corrupting the system, and using the hard earned dollars of your fellow citizens????
