After U.S.Census training when do you start work?
Q. I have a 3 day training coming up for the U.S. Census and was wondering if we start work immediately after training or if they call you to start at a later date? Just curious. Serious answers please. ps: a friend of mine completed training and was never called back to start work and also found out that they hired people out of state to do the census near where she lives.

A. I work for them. It usually is that weekend after training or the next monday. Have them check with their congressman about the part of bringing in people from other states. That bothers me. Send more info via email to me and I will have my ELCO check this out.

Is the U.S. census form supposed to preserve privacy and anonymity?
Q. I've noticed that the new census forms ask for people's names and birth dates. Why does the government need this specific information? is it really necessary to know where each and every person lives?
Asked by drew - Fri Mar 19 17:19:55 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yeah, it is supposed to, but there was that time it was used to round up Japanese Americans and put them in relocation camps, details like that. They only need a count. However, if you don't answer their questions you could be fined. I'd cheer you on if you wanted to push it to the Supreme Court, but it would be expensive. Still outrageous, however. Why do I want to give them my phone number, for example? Am I supposed to have the slightest interest in talking to them?

Do you think the U.S. census should have a category of multicultural for race and ethnicity?
Q. Why or why not? Would it make a difference in the accuracy of the census? Would it make a difference to you?
Asked by carol h - Wed Jun 24 19:37:46 2009 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments
A. No. Multicultural is not an ethnicity it is just stating a detail. The census's job is to report the race of the people. A person who is part irish,, italian, anglo, german, french and polish is Multicultural, but wouldnt it be dumb if they checked off multicultural when they should check off white? Because they are white?. Multicultural would just complicate things, then you would have all those "Mixed" people, (The ones who are 1/128th this and 1/1000 that) checking off multicultural when they really are just black, white, or asian. So no, the only thing that should be on the census is Black, white, Asian, Pacific Islander, Aboriginal

A. It won't happen. The decennial census is created to track important information that determines voting districts/representation, financial aid to communities, and federal programs. There's nothing inherent in any of this to ethnic origins. It took 15 years just to get the Bureau to allow more than one answer to the "Caucasian, Black, Native American/Pacific Islander" question and another 37 to get a sub class for which Spanish-speaking country the responded was born in.

Am I required to do the U S census?
Q. I am being asked to do this-any answers on this question?
Asked by bill the businessman - Tue Dec 30 12:47:55 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. No one has been prosecuted. The envelope state on the outside that you are required by law to respond. Generally about 25% of the population refuses to answer some or all of the questions. The census bureau has a refusal procedure. Some people refuse to answer all of them and just state to the door knocker that they want to be entered in the refusal procedure without even giving their name. If you engage in a conversation with any of them just keep in mind that they receive training in keeping the respondent engaged in conversation in order to break down resistance. If you decide to refuse they will become very annoying for a while then they usually go away. Here's a website: www.censusthis.com

Now it is being moved to the executive branch for reasons only known to the Saith Lord who now occupies the White House. Think about it. Senator Judd Gregg turned down the job for unclear reasons and ACORN is going to play a major role in the taking of the census, the pay-off for all their years of undermining and deceiving. Someone seeks eventual absolute power and will stop at nothing to get it.

how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist?

Asked by Daisymae - Wed Oct 21 20:13:39 2009 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments
A. They have to physically show up at your door. Otherwise, any amount of bad data will inevitably creep into the census. The census takers all have ID which they are required to show by law. This does not mean, however, that someone might use a fake ID. If that is the case, then you will know immediately, because they will use the ID to get you to open your door. If this were to happen, they could care less about census data, which isn't really useful for stealing your identity, anyway. The census taker will not ask your SSN, nor are you required to provide it on the forms. The census takers are in more danger from the public than the public is from them.
