Putting this out there so you can recheck my math.
Using data from the 2020 Census.

638,000 workers at $27 hr (conservative since group leaders and other usually are paid more than enumerators) is $1,722,600 an hour.

VERY VERY conservative 20 hours a week...$344,520,000

Times 8 weeks (census trained for two weeks alone ).....$2,756,160,000

I expect Census workers get a lot of grief at the door...but not as much as the shot patrol will.

And they probably need no proof that they actually spoke to anyone.

Drive up to home, check box, drive to next home, check box....without ever leaving the car.

Remember these are government jobs.

Stick a Biden sticker on your bumper and they'll skip you.

On another thread, tamajane pointed out how many people won't even answer the door anymore.
That makes it an even bigger waste of money.

Heck, if mail in is good enough to elect the president, just handle the survey with mail in cards.

Well, looks like the government only takes on projects it wants, instead of taking on necessary projects.
For years I have stated the government needs to have government workers go door to door and round up all the illegals in the country.
Most answers to that were, "cost to much", and to many illegals, it could never happen".
We are a country of 300,000,000, and all of a sudden it's perfectly fine to go knocking door to door through out the country to see who is, and isn't vaccinated.
Sounds a bit hypocritical to me.

Hmmm maybe Biden is on to something. He could be making a move here like FDR did coming out of the Great Depression in getting America back to work?



$27 an hour is good pay and all one has to do is knock on a few doors then sit the rest of the shift in your car, reading a book or playing on your phone. You can easily mark your paperwork that with the 100 doors you knocked on no one wanted to talk to you. No one but the shot happy Libs would ever question that.

Genius! Only thing that would top that is to go buy a Subaru or a Prius and put said Biden sticker on the bumper. That's pure gold
