Every year that ends in a zero, the United States Census is supposed to interview every human living in USA, right? I don't recall that happening to me since the year 2000. Anybody else? (lemmy.world)

2000 was the last time they had people go door to door (I did it for an area in my city. It was pretty decent pay for an easy job). Since then, in 2010 they sent out a version of the questioner in the mail, and 2020 was basically just a postcard with a link to the online version.

The only way they really know if you should get a questioner is by taxes. If you haven't done taxes in the last years or whatever then you probably didn't get asked anything.

They had people go door to door in 2010. I was one of the people who did that. It was decent pay especially during the recession at the time.

Didn't know they had any in '10. Yeah I enjoyed the job.
