Despite judge's order, plans being made for census layoffs
Read full article: Despite judge's order, plans being made for census layoffsCensus Bureau spokesman Michael Cook said no directive to make such ratings has been made from headquarters or the six regional offices across the county. In response to the judge's temporary restraining order, the Census Bureau said Tuesday it would refrain from laying off census takers who were in phases two or three of the three-phase door knocking operation. The census takers are sent out to homes that have not yet responded to the census on their own online by phone or by mail. As originally planned, before the judge's order, once that 60% threshold is met, less productive census takers are laid off and their caseloads are transferred to higher performers so the most experienced census takers can work on the hardest-to-reach households. The coalition had argued the earlier deadline would cause the Census Bureau to overlook minority communities in the census, leading to an inaccurate count.
