An estimated 330,000 enumerators will be making the rounds of americans houses apartments and condominiums to count those who did no to return their census forms. A we will visit each housing unit that did not return a questionnaire. And we have the workforce to do it a said census Bureau director Barbara Everitt Bryant. The workforce is larger than anticipated because of a poorer than expected return of the mass mailing from the government last month. Training of the workers who will go to americans Homes and apartments begins monday with the actual counting scheduled to Start thursday. The Cost of the door to door count is expected to add $150 million or More to the Price of the census originally estimated at $ 1.3 billion for this year. Results of the census will be used to determine congressional representation for the next decade and the distribution of Federal Aid for programs ranging from help for the homeless to funds for the War on drugs. Problems in the initial mailing have caused a chorus of complaints that the census is being mishandled. Some americans simply did no to return their forms. Others a including one entire town in California a never received them in the first place. A a it a Early in the census process and there is much to be done a said rep. Thomas Sawyer. A Ohio chairman of the House subcommittee supervising the census. Rep. Mervyn Dymally d-calif., said the project is on the Brink of disaster and sen. John Heinz r-pa., has called for a Senate investigation. The census Bureau had hoped that 70 percent of americans would Send Back their forms. As of Friday the rate was Only 63 percent forcing the Bureau to hire More people to continue the count. Bryant said the Bureau has a Pool of 1.4 million qualified Job applicants nationwide. That provides More than four people for each of the 330,000 jobs to be filled she said. Unfortunately she said the applicants Are not evenly distributed. There is double the National average available for each Job in new York for example but a slight shortage of available workers on Long Island. To help fill scattered shortages of census workers Congress has permitted retired Federal workers and military personnel to take temporary census jobs without losing their retirement benefits. In addition the department of housing and Urban affairs is permitting residents of subsidized housing to accept census jobs without the extra income causing their rent to go up. Similar rulings now apply to recipients of food Stamps and other Public assistance. Hiring census takers is a particular problem in areas with Low unemployment. Where necessary the Bureau will hire people from neighbouring communities to conduct the count. But for a variety of reasons it prefers relying on local residents. First they Are More comfortable walking the Halls of Large apartment buildings and along ghetto streets. In addition they Are More Likely to be familiar with local languages and geography and trusted More by local residents wary of outsiders. Using local residents As census takers is considered especially important in hispanic areas where people Are afraid that giving any information to the government will Lead to a visit by immigration officials. The census Bureau has worked hard to stress the confidentiality of the answers people give and Many hispanic groups have worked to encourage Public  Cooks up healthy new concept Houston apr forget Granola bean sprouts and smoothies.
