The US Census Bureau ramps up its temporary workforce every 10 years. This time around, it might be harder to find workers.
Before Friday morning's jobs report, analysts had been expecting another healthy month for the labor market — projecting that employers added 185,000 jobs to their payrolls in May. But the report turned out to be a flop, coming in at only 75,000 jobs.
Part of the reason for the rosy forecast: Around this time every ten years, the federal government brings on hundreds of thousands of temporary workers to conduct the decennial Census. In May 2009, the Census Bureau had 69,000 temporary workers on its payroll in the early stages of its ramp-up to a total of 564,000 workers a year later.
