Is anybody doing this on a temp basis?

My friend is the "leader" of the local workers, and they can't get people to apply for the work. My question is why in the hell can't they fill the jobs? They pay $15 an hour, and you get to choose how many hours you are willing to work as long as it is between 20-40.

probably because nobody knows about the jobs........and also people don't like going door to door having paranoid crazies threaten to shoot them in the face.

#2... I SERIOUSLY lol at that one!!

In Michigan the workers are making $10 per hour. If one were to work 40 hours, that's $400 per week. Because this _IS_ Michigan - you can make almost that much to stay home and let the Gov pay for your food, clothing, shelter, cable, cell phone and college.ALL without having to do anything!

Would YOU take the job? Wait . . .If you were a Michigander indoctrinated to believe living on the Gov is a right, there is nothing wrong with being pathetic, AND you believe (thanks to our schools) that you are gifted, special and unique (when in fact you are stupid, unmotivated and _very_ common) would you take the job?

census workers are all temp work or at least the majority of the positions are. about 48,000 of them.

Which is why the jobs gained this month are minimum at best. of the 116,000 jobs gained, about 80,000 of them are temporary government jobs because of the census and other programs. within a few months, they'll be gone too.

Actually the pay rate is 13 bucks an hour plus mileage.

This where my hard core conservative side kicks in. Able bodied people on assistance should be performing these duties to receive their assistance checks. The amount of money they earn is in direct correlation with the number of completed and correct forms they turn in.

^6 It varies by region

Because those who actually want jobs have them, and those who like being supported by the state abhor the idea of work.

I met a canvasser about 4-5 weeks ago. She was just going door to door looking for people to work their own neighborhoods, where they need not visit every single home, particularly when they personally know the people living there and can submit the missing information to the Census Bureau.

If everybody completed their census form properly and sent it in as one is supposed to, we would not need to incur the national expense of street workers.

Better be carefull knocking on doors where I live.....

Can you imagine knocking on the door of a drug dealer or grower?

The country aint a good place to roam around.....

I don't get why so many people dis the Census. It is quite clearly constitutionally mandated. The information requested varies slightly from census to census, but its primary reason, to apportion electoral votes and congressional seats from state to state, and to measure whether legislative representation is relatively equal from one district to another. What is everyone so angry or afraid of?

the gubmint^!

(CBS/AP) It was a bizarre and gruesome discovery in a remote section of eastern Kentucky: Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old teacher and part-time worker for the United States Census, was found two weeks ago hanging from a tree with the word "Fed" scrawled on his chest in felt tip pen.

A man who said he was among those who found the body told tells the Associated Press that Sparkman was naked, bound at the hands and feet with duct tape and gagged - details that have not yet been confirmed by authorities.

Jerry Weaver of Ohio told the Associated Press he was visiting a cemetery in rural Kentucky with family members on Sept. 12 when he, his wife and daughter saw the body.

"The only thing he had on was a pair of socks," Weaver said. "And they had duct-taped his hands, his wrists. He had duct tape over his eyes, and they gagged him with a red rag or something.

"He was murdered," Weaver said. "There's no doubt."

Weaver said the body was about 50 yards from a 2003 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck.

Can you imagine knocking on Greenwolf's door!

no

but I can imagine a cartoon "obama" corner of the house
