If I were the director of the census
Every 10 years the census attempts to paint a picture of the United States. If I were the director of the census I would devise a form that could yield more information about the American people. I would keep the current form, but would enhance it with questions about the literacy level, occupation and a set of questions about the community that will allow policy makers to target the issues that are affecting that area. Additionally, questions that let the people rate the services provided by the public sector in that community such as safety, education, maintenance and health services. I feel that given the security provided by the framework of the census, these questions will provide accurate information about a community, its members, and the access to the resources that pertain them. This information will facilitate the development of programs at the state level and will guarantee that the allocation of money is going to the right people.
