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!
I didn’t think it was. They didn’t just spout a number and let it hang out there. They walked through the statistical methodology that yielded the reasonable estimate that 700 something census workers nationwide are likely to be disqualifiable due to violent criminal background.
Is that a lot nationwide? You can decide that for yourself when you hear the doorbell. :)
