I am starting training as a census enumerator. I will work in my old neighborhood (Dyker heights) instead of East Harlem. Since Dyker Heights is great neighborhood, safety concern for me is minimum. What about those who work in Harlem or South Bronx? Do they feel safe to work inside housing projects? We have to ask if any household member is in jail so he/she should not be counted. Do you feel comfortable to ask those not so friendly respondents? I am also wondering whether police protection is needed to work in Brownsville or East New York.

Your thoughts?

It varies by county. Nassau was $18/hour I believe, so NYC should be similar... can't seem to find a link off hand right now.

This is rather strident.
Can you provide a link to show where he lied?

As far as I remember, I read that census workers will be put to work in "their communities" and if you are a resident of Brooklyn, it seems to me you should expect to be put to work elsewhere in Brooklyn in a neighborhood that has a low census return rate.

If you live in Sunnyside (for example) and want to work for the census, how would you feel if they said, "Sorry, you can't work for us. Obama says census workers must be put to work in their communities, which means within 4 blocks of where you live, and guess what, your neighbors were all really good about returning their forms. So you can't work for us because we only have Corona and Jamaica available. Nothing in Sunnyside. So, bye."

I'm sure you'd be the first to complain about that by saying something like, "Obama said US citizens could work for the census but now he is defining community as within 4 blocks and there are no openings within 4 blocks. How did he come up with that definition. He's a politician and they all lie." blah blah blah

Why Obama lied about his race on his census form

FYI Obama forgot that his mama was a white girl who made him with a black man and now he claims he is ONLY BLACK and not mixed race...........there is a section call RACE on the Census and OBAMA ticked off African American.. which make him a LIAR......and forgot that he is NOT a AFRICAN AMERICAN but Molato..mix..which.... he as lied about his race........he should have ticked off mixed race

sunnyside is more then 4 blocks and hardly anyone in sunnyside sent in there forms last time. hardly anyone applied in the area to do the job.

there was a case where the area you come from is very small and everyone and thier pet monkey sent in their forms then I understand why the need to send a person to a town CLOSE BY...but not far far way down yonder.

FYI I could give a Rats ANUS who works where for the census ........ from my understanding they send you towork in your OWN AREA not someplace that you are not farmilar with............Could care less since I never deal with census working or filling the form out.

Why are you worried about this Sarah if you will be working in Dyker Heights? Don't you need a car for this position? Even though the pay is good for this temporary gig don't expect everybody to be nice to you when you ring their bell.

Which is why my doormat outside my front door says
"Ring doorbell and run, the dog needs exercise."

$18.75/hr in NYC. I don't understand why Boston and Bridgeport get $22.75/hr.
