The Census Bureau among others have come up with something they think you can believe in: crew leaders and foot soldiers in the census taking from mid-May through July 2010. Halt: aren’t these primarily temporary jobs? They should not be included in the jobs picture, right Census Bureau roboclerks?
Here’s the “official headline” from the Bureau:
Temporary census work, and can fill the void for the unemployed
Here are the wage scales (no benefits) AND BE CAREFUL…
according to your state’s policy, you may not be able to reinstate your unemployment payments when your job with the Census Bureau ends.
Census takers, who will be door to door to help residents fill out a questionnaire. They will pay 11.50 U.S. dollars an hour.
Crew leaders, who manage census. They will pay $ 13 per hour.
Director of field operations, who managers. They will pay $ 14.50 per hour.
And now the requisite government report that will let us calculate the effect of the economy and its unemployed, right?
Looks slick doesn’t it – color seal. This is not inexpensive.
Here’s a summary of what’s inside:
So we are ramping up for a few months of hope. Then thousands will again be unemployed – AND the report cannot provide “precise estimates of the effects of the 2010 Census operations…at this time.”
Do you perceive echoes of the Health Care Reform bill of 2010? It’s like the after shock of a giant earth quake. Be prepared for the financial tsunami. Oh and in that new bill to promote tourism – not much financial news you can assess or believe in there either.
Stand by. The President is making announcements daily. Stay rested and keep your calculators handy.

I thought I’d give them my WordPress user ID (but not the password lol) and Sam and Imp will be my dependents. I will say this is a 10 bathroom 2 bedroom house with an outhouse backup.

For sure with tax payer dollars. What about doing it on line or by mail to save some serious money. Hell, they don’t need to, it’s not theirs, Jim

I agree. Either way you have to double check your lists. Don’t count on efficiency from government anytime soon. This is another of Obama’s lies. Good to see you here.
