A local real estate broker was recently contacted by a census worker to solicit entry into a local South Boston condo development, 321 West Second Street, in an effort to wrap up census work in the neighborhood. The tactic, noted in italics below, of contacting local real estate brokers to drive completion of census work appears to be on the rise.
“I am with the US Census Department and I need to conduct interviews at 321 West Second Street. Specifically at units 7, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 16. Can you please contact me with either a time I could gain access to the building to complete these interviews, phone numbers where I could contact these residents or if you could please confirm if these units were not occupied on April 1st that would be most appreciated.
To confirm this information is accurate, below is a contact number for the local census office and the information for Unit 7.

The census is slated to add more than 1.4 million new jobs to the federal payroll, making it the largest peacetime government jobs program ever, according to the Census Bureau. Some 140,000 people were hired in 2009, while the bulk of these temporary workers are being brought out board during 2010, an effort that provides a timely boost for what appears to be a positively trending US economy.
