Reply #8: My hubby worked for the census in March

and is scheduled to go for another training in a couple of weeks to start another segment.

So far, he's only encountered one irate citizen. But the man did take the package. Hopefully he won't encounter any more of that. But we live in very red Central Texas, so I've been reminding him frequently to not argue with folks, just say 'have a nice day' and leave. And the bureau also emphasizes that action.

I think the Census Bureau is really needing workers and the extra money is very helpful. We are retired and live on social security and the $11.50 an hour plus 50 cents a mile is very helpful.
