Moses said to the Israelites:
Boys, load up your ass, get on your camel- we're going to the promised land!"

3,000 years later, Obama said to the Census workers:

Boys, sit on your ass, light up a Camel- this is the promised land!

[Nachum]

The list, ping

The guy who leaked the video of ACORN corruption has also got tape of Census workers telling employees to pad out their timesheets, take long lunches, etc.

$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.

[beethovenfan]

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.

[Osage Orange]

Recently heard..or read about a guy that said he was hired fired, hired fired....over and over and over by the Census Bureau

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.

[Red Badger]

These books aren’t cooked, they are burnt...................

[cvq3842]

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.

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

[ozzymandus]

What’s going to happen to the unemployment figures when these temporary “jobs” are over? How will the RATS lie their way out then?

[a fool in paradise]

It’ll be the fault of the GOP takeover of Congress, things were going so well until November...

[griswold3]

The Republicans will be catching a falling knife if elected a majority in Nov.

[MtnMan101]

I know!
I’ve had at least 1/2 of them knocking at my door !!!

[reagan_fanatic]

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

Since these are temp jobs, they should have little or no significance on any reports.

But since Barry and the dims are in charge, it will be trumpeted as an economic recovery. Doncha just love hypocrisy and partisanship?

IIRC the NY Post has had articles to this effect.
