Newsmakers: Census Director Patrick Ryan
There are eight U.S. Census Bureau offices in Wisconsin and the director of the Madison office, Patrick Ryan, outlined plans to hire up to 1,200 people to meet the national April 1 deadline for the count in a Newsmakers interview. Ryan said many of the 1,200 workers, who will be paid between $11 and $15 per hour with no fringe benefits, would make follow-up calls on residents on their neighbors who did not return census forms soon to be mailed to every household. Ultimately, Census figures are used to determine how many U.S. House members each state will have, redraw legislative district boundaries and determine how $400 billion in federal aid is divided between states and local governments.
