In this March 30, 2000, file photo by Jesse Tinsley, Post Falls firefighters Bryan Williams, top, and Kevin Amorebieta hang a banner reminding Post Falls residents to return their census forms.  The city received a $1000 "partnership" grant from the U.S. Census bureau to buy the banners and print fliers in hopes of a more complete census for the city.

At KREM2, Dawn Crawley reports that the census bureau wants you to count heads: "It's coming down to the wire, but about 700 jobs are still available in North Idaho with the U.S. Census Bureau. The Bureau is looking for temporary workers to help tally the population in this year's census. There are about three weeks left for those interested in applying and officials say to get your application in as soon as possible. Each person that is counted by the Census brings in about $1,400 in federal funding for the State of idaho. Now the Bureau just needs those workers to make sure everyone is tallied." More here.

Question: Do you have any qualms re: you or your family being counted for the U.S. census? Do you realize that you and each member of your family brings in federal money for the state of Idaho?
