While shopping at the Marina Safeway near my home I talked with a recruiter for the U.S. Census Bureau looking for people to help with the 2010 Census. They had hoped to have 300 people signed up by the end of March. Currently they have only 30 people from the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco signed up to take these jobs that pay between $22-$25 an hour.

The census is of course essential to determine how federal monies are spent for many things that matter most to people including:

• Health Care
• Education
• Jobs
• Home ownership
• Community Safety
• Community Services
• Aid for children and seniors

So it is important that San Francisco be fully and accurately represented in the 2010 census. Perhaps if census taking is not your cup of tea you could pass this information along to someone else?
