I have noticed a few teachers in my local school district talking about working for the Census this year. Wouldn't this be a conflict of interest? Most Federal School funding is based on Census information. The lower the median income from census data.. The more funding the school district receives.

I was just wondering if this might be some sort of conflict of interest as the Census worker could eaisly fudge numbers so the school can receive more tax dollars.. :)

It's not all that easy to fudge data given that each household has the GPS coordinates to the door, and paper surveys are taken as well. It would get noticed.

I wonder if I should buy a GPS jammer, or make one.. Not unless they already have the GPS coordinates. Took the coordinates while nobody was home.

Found this with a quick Google search.
