550,000 CENSUS WORKERS???? OMG!! That seems totally wrong.
John Crudele added this third census story follow-up in Last Tuesday’s New York Post:
Census workers share their horror stories
Posted: 1:06 AM, June 1, 2010
A guy I’ll call Mike has worked for Census 2010 several times in California over the past two years. The last time, he was trained at a facility that was an hour’s drive from his home. He was paid for his commuting time at $17 an hour — which is what he also got while working and training.
Mike says that he, like everyone else, was also given 50 cents a mile for gasoline.
The last time Mike worked for Census, the job lasted two weeks. He and the rest of his class had been promised eight weeks.
Mike says that after each stint with Census he, like everyone else, was given an official “termination” notice. And every time he was rehired Mike had to fill out a new employment application (more paperwork to be processed by paid workers).

Here are some other workers’ stories.
(…)
* Everything you reported is absolutely true. I was fired three times and rehired. I earned more going to training classes than (working). Several classmates didn’t get any work after completing training.
(…)
* I am a Census worker. I, too, can confirm that they are checking and checking. I checked homes that have already been checked by the enumerators.” The next phase is to go and re-check the checks that we already did twice.
that’s only half of the planned hire of 1 million
and according to reports now coming out, if they do 1 hour of work, that’s aj ob
If the same worker gets fired and rehired- that’s two jobs
You wonder why Barry and the democrats needed such a huge porkulous slush fund-
and here’s a shoutout to the GOP senators from Maine, once again. We have not forgotten you.
