Almost 2,000 Census Bureau field workers will interview about 70,000 households this week for a current population survey sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The field representatives carry official identification.
Every month, Census Bureau field representatives ask selected households questions relevant to the U.S. labor force, such as their employment status, hours worked, earnings, age, gender, race, marital status, educational attainment, occupation and industry. From those answers come estimates of the unemployment rate, released monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
