(Reuters) - The U.S. Census said on Wednesday it had 573,779 workers on its payroll in mid-May, suggesting a huge boost in Friday's U.S. employment report.
The agency hired hundreds of thousands of temporary workers to help with the once-a-decade Census, and economists have been expecting that to provide a large, if short-lived, lift to the still-suffering U.S. job market.
It was not clear exactly how those jobs would be counted in Friday's closely watched U.S. employment report for May. Economists polled by Reuters forecast an overall gain of 513,000, including a sizable contribution from Census hiring.

3,000 years later, Obama said to the Census workers:
Boys, sit on your ass, light up a Camel- this is the promised land!
The list, ping
$17 an hour apparently isn't enough to get competent workers.
I am sure it’s been mentioned around here, but census workers have reported being laid off and rehired a number of times. Each time is reported out as a new job hire.
Think this system isn’t being jobbed? What a bunch of light-weights we have running this nation.
Temp jobs.....
BTW, where the libtards at to bash Jack Squat Barry for job “created” being mainly temp jobs, you know, like how they said such about Bush’s job numbers? Nowhere to be seen or heard from, as par.
Whee! Democrat job creation!
I had also heard that if workers are hired “temporarily” for successive days it might count as a new job each day in the unemployment reports.
Don’t know if that’s the case, but I do suspect that Obama’s cooking the books every way he can.
Thus making it seem like there was more hiring going on......
Don't know if it's true..but wouldn't put it past them.
These books aren’t cooked, they are burnt...................
Yup.
Remember how all the jobs created under Bush were “hamburger-flipping jobs”? LOL! We got down to 4.5% unemployment because everybody was working at McDonald’s.
$17 an hour apparently isn’t enough to get competent workers.
A census worker came to my door to bug me because I refused to give out any racial info on my form. She spent most of her time grousing about the guy she replaced. Apparently he should have come around to bug me weeks earlier, but was just too damned lazy and apparently he never did a thing.
I must say she was extremely polite, on the edge of being gun shy. I think she had been taking a royal drubbing from people at their front doors. Still would not answer the race question. I assume she looked at me and took her best guess.
I would love if they just didn’t count these Gubmint, temporary jobs as “jobs” in the employment numbers.
walking around money
What’s going to happen to the unemployment figures when these temporary “jobs” are over? How will the RATS lie their way out then?
It’ll be the fault of the GOP takeover of Congress, things were going so well until November...
The Republicans will be catching a falling knife if elected a majority in Nov.
I know!
I’ve had at least 1/2 of them knocking at my door !!!
