Economists say May Job Numbers INFLATED BY TEMP JOBS

Economist Mark Zandi of Moody’s.com projects the economy will have added 575,000 jobs in May, while the Economic Policy Institute’s (EPI) rough projection is for 560,000 jobs.

BUT.......................

Zandi expects that only 150,000 of the jobs created in May will come from the private sector, with 425,000 new jobs sparked by the once-a-decade Census. See more here

More Fraud Hunting at the Census.

Going After Census Fraud.

The Census Bureau may be playing games.

A Whistle Blower, Naomi Cohn, told The New York Post that she was hired and fired a number of times by Census. Each time she was hired back, it seems, Census was able to report the creation of a new job to the Labor Department.

John Crudele reports that he received letters

"John: I am on my fourth rehire with the 2010 Census.
"I have been hired, trained for a week, given a few hours of work, then laid off. So my unemployed self now counts for four new jobs.
"I have been paid more to train all four times than I have been paid to actually produce results. These are my tax dollars and your tax dollars at work.
"A few months ago I was trained for three days and offered five hours of work counting the homeless. Now, I am knocking (on) doors trying to find the people that have not returned their Census forms. I worked the 2000 Census. It was a far more organized venture.
"Have to run and meet my crew leader, even though with this rain I did not work today. So I can put in a pay sheet for the hour or hour and a half this meeting will take.

Are the Obama folk playing games with the employment numbers?
Are they running a Ponzi type scheme?
Are the Labor Department folk aware of the scamming at Census?

US CENSUS: Made in China

A Chicago politician recently received a dozen boxes of promotional caps, blue denim shirts and T-shirts from the U.S. Census Bureau, and found that the caps were made in China, the denim shirts in Bangladesh, and the T-shirts in Haiti before the factory for them was ruined in the January earthquake.

The Pol said "even though there's an unemployment rate at 13 percent in the U.S., with some neighborhoods at 50 percent," the Census Bureau has given the jobs of manufacturing the promotional apparel to foreign citizens – even as it tries to get the attention of all Americans to fill out Census forms. "Am I the only one that sees the irony in this?" he said.

I fully support free trade, but stuff that the government uses should clearly carry a label that says..........

VaRight is worried about Double Counting

“[P]eople who have completed and returned their questionnaires need not fill out the replacement Census form,” said a news release issued Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau’s Charlotte region. “You should only complete and return one census form,” the release said. “Extra census forms should be discarded.”

William W. Hatcher, a regional director for the U.S. Census Bureau, said both the original forms and the replacement forms are bar-coded “to ensure that people are counted only once and in the right place.”

Va Right says, And no possibility of any of Obama’s “adoring” fans sending in two forms, right? And is there any doubt as to the political makeup of the areas that received a second form?

$68,308,000 Who else got a letter from Dept. of Commerce?? $68,308,000

$68,308,000

I got a letter yesterday from the government. I opened it, expecting that it might be important. it looked official. I read it and said, "WHAT THE HECK?"

The Census has sent me a letter telling me that they’re going to send me a letter.
It was so stupid, and a waste of tax money.
Lets do the rough numbers. If I was going to send out 114.8 million letters to every household in the US, I would need 114.8 sheets of paper, 114.8 envelopes, 114.8 stamps, gosh knows how many printer ink cartridges. I will assume that I can get 230 sheets per cartridge, so 1/2 million ink cartridges.
That mailing would roughly cost me ........

Paper- $785,000
Envelopes- $2,000,000
Stamps- $50,523,000
Ink- $15,000,000
-------------
$68,308,000

Add in labor for all the people needed to prepare the letter.
Add in the cost of the machines needed to prepare the letter.

You can see a copy of the letter here

Was that Census Ad the DUMBEST COMMERCIAL EVER?????

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING????

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

$2.5 Million of taxpayers money paying for a Super Bowl Ad??????

Census Ad in URDU

During these tough economic times, American families are forced to make tough choices about what they can spend money on and what they need to cut from their household budgets.

Through the course of the budget process we did the same thing.

So Says the White House

If that is true, why are we taxpayers paying $2.5 Million for a commercial during the Super Bowl? They are flooding the airwaves with a stupid commercial asking,"How will we know how many teachers we will need if we don't fill out the census?" I guess the number of kids registering for class won't tell us? Will the census tell us if 1/2 the kids are planning on going to private school?
And they will spend a total of over $133 Million to have ads in 28 languages

Census Ad in HMONG

And is Acorn still out of the Census???

Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data.
The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:
If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home.

Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. > Census.
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.

While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau.

AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION. No Acorn worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau.
Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.

Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.
