Any Of You Ever Get The "American Community Survey" Through The U.S. Census Bureau? [View all]
I got one today, and I hope it was legit. The notice I got in the mail said that my husband and I were "randomly selected" to participate in this survey. The notice said that our response was required by law. The purpose of the survey was apparently to "improve roads and reduce traffic, build schools, plan for the health care needs of the elderly. As I took the survey, I documented each question. I noticed there were a lot of questions about "other people" living in our house (We are both retired and are the only ones living here). They seemed to repeat/ reword the same questions. A little confusing. The questions seemed like they wanted to know if we are immigrants (we aren't) or possibly have immigrants living with us (we don't). The questions about jobs were repeated, even though one of the first questions was answered "retired". They wanted to know if we were Mexican/Latino, etc. I answered that we were not, and the next question asked what specific ancestry/ethnicity were were AFTER I answered their question. Color me suspicious.
