Census

[fred mertz]

I am an American (EEUU) born U.S.citizen. Recently, said country had a census count. I remember the head of the Census Dept. say that expats would not be counted. Is it odd for me to ask why my country wouldn't count me, but Argentina did?

A census is a snapshot of the country on the set day. You are on the Argentina censes because you were in Argentina at the time of the Census, you are not on the EEUU census count because you were not in that country at the time. A EEUU census is to count the number of people in the EEUU not the number of Citizens from the EEUU.

Anyone else have their census written in pencil?

And have you worked 1 hour this week? Of course unemployment is understated.

They did not count me for sure, nobody knocked at my door.
( And I think I work more than 40 hours/week.. sigh)
