Census 2010

From the Missoulian: "Since April 20, enumerators or 'listers' have spread throughout Montana and the U.S. They're paid $11 an hour plus mileage to map on a global positioning system grid every place a person lives or could live. That will smooth the path for next year's once-a-decade census."

The Census Bureau website has information on the upcoming 2010 Census. The site addresses who Census workers are, how the survey is conducted, and what to expect with the Census (which should help to answer questions about whether or not people are legitimate Census workers).
