2010 Census Fraud/ Employment numbers

AeWingnut · #1 06-05-2010, 09:59 AM

This is probably the first time on record when a 431,000 surge in U.S. nonfarm payrolls was viewed as a terrible employment report. Perhaps this is because 411,000 of those jobs, or 95% of the tally, were in Census hirings, which everyone knows are temporary.

The the people that were hired for the Census were hired and fired several times just to push the numbers around.

I received muliple Census forms, only filled it out once. Then I was called by a census worker to answer the questions all over again.

So - not only are the jobs all temporary government jobs they are just make work jobs at that.

Are you expecting more from the government? If you are I wouldn't hold your breath too long.

The census is a joke.........I filled it out on time and returned it. Last week a gentleman was going through my neighborhood door to door to do the census. I asked him why since I'm sure many in the neighborhood had returned them. His reply was that the entire neighborhood's info had been lost. I asked him how that was possible since they were all returned separately. No answer, he said he was just told to go door to door in this neighborhood. What a waste of money.

The same thing happened to me. I filled mine out and mailed it right when I got it (which was well over a month ago). They came by today and asked me to fill out a new one. I told the guy that I sent it in a long time ago. He said they must not have gotten it. They are so disorganized it is incredible.
