Two Brooklyn Census Managers Fired for Faking Surveys

Well, maybe this means that Teen Spirit or Hepcat will finally get a temporary job with the Census Bureau. They aced the test and Hepcat actually did the training but they’ve never been called to do any work.

They hired these bozos instead and look where that got the Census Bureau.

According to the New York Times, about 10,000 census surveys in Brooklyn have to be redone because two managers supposedly filled out many of the household surveys themselves.

The two managers, Alvin Aviles and Sonya Merritt, began using online databases to fill out household surveys instead of collecting the information by knocking on doors. Needless to say, the  two were fired after census officials finally figured out what was going on.

The local census office where they worked was supposed to complete 97,000 household surveys in the neighborhoods of Williamsburg, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick and Greenpoint by July 10. By June 12, 9,000 surveys were still incomplete.

So to speed thing up, these two managers started faking the surveys.
