A report issued by the Government Accountability Office Oct. 7 revealed that approximately 785 employees with disqualifying criminal records could end up working for the Census Bureau this year. Excerpts (below) show the exact wording of the agencys frightening information about the people who go door to door conducting interviews and collecting information for the 2010 Census:
The Bureaus efforts to fingerprint employees, which was required as part of a criminal background check, did not proceed smoothly, in part because of training issues. As a result, over 35,000 temporary census workers over a fifth of the address canvassing workforce were hired despite the fact that their fingerprints could not be processed and they were not fully screened for employment eligibility.
of the prints that could be processed, fingerprint results identified 1,800 temporary workers (1.1 percent of total hires) with criminal records that name check alone failed to identify. Of the 1,800 workers with criminal records, approximately 750 (42 percent) were terminated or were further reviewed because the Bureau determined their criminal records which included crimes such as rape, manslaughter, and child abuse disqualified them from census employment.
we estimate that approximately 785 employees with unclassifiable prints could have disqualifying criminal records but still end up working for the Bureau.
Whether or not Miller cleared a background check is not known at this time.
If I don’t know wo it is, I usually have something in my hand when I answer the door.
42 percent! Oh my go... oh, wait, 42% of 1.1%. So, actually 0.462%. Well, that’s still a lot of sexual offenders... oh, wait again. “... approximately 750... which included crimes such as rape, manslaughter, and child abuse.” So actually less than 0.462%. But at least one from each category, right? Well, at least it’s not misleading!
Too much access to people’s homes, apts, information (marital status, how many people living there, etc)!!!
