Faced with a tight labor market, the U.S. Census Bureau plans to raise wages for census workers in some areas and make it easier for applicants to get fingerprinted for background checksCatch up on the developing stories making headlines.

The bureau tested the job market in late summer and early fall when it hired 32,000 temporary workers to help verify addresses ahead of the 2020 count. The bureau also has been working with industrial psychologists to help decide which type of backgrounds would eliminate someone from being hired to knock on the doors of people who don't respond to the questionnaire. While past arrests for traffic accidents or marijuana possession might get a pass,"we don't want people with violent crimes or house break-ins in their background," Fontenot said.

The committee covered a wide range of issues with Census Bureau officials Thursday, including data privacy, advertising, fighting misinformation, funding, messaging in hard-to-count communities and guarding against hacking. Census Bureau director Steve Dillingham said next year's national head count was"on mission, on target and on budget." But some committee members said they were worried he was being too optimistic, given hiring and budget challenges.
