Census people visit your house and do the interview. I told them I mailed my Census form last month, but insisted, I should sign in their LapTop, that is how they get paid, $25 per signature. I don’t blame them, they want a longer extension, this is an easy money/job paid by Uncle Sam.
That is TRUE, my HOME STATE issue those IPAD and do House to House interview, after showing their ID and introduced themselves, I told them I already mailed my Census card, show them the copy, they still insisted asking questions the number of people living in the house, etc. They enter what I told them then show me in their IPAD if everything is correct, then signed their iPad. I asked the Census man how much it cost to buy an IPAD, said the City owns it, asked again how much he got paid, $25 per residence. I asked him where and how to apply for that job, said it is only temporary. Your State must be lucky, you are working for FREE to get Census House to House, who pays for your Gasoline, your bottled water etc.
