Perilous time for the 2020 census. Troubling, there were reports indicating career officials at the Census Bureau warned the trump about significant problems that will delay the delivery of census data to late january or early february. After these reports became public, the director of the census, dr. Steven billingham, issued a Public Statement confirming problems were found, but provided no details. These developments were particularly troubling because they were not reported to our committee before we write about them in the press or before the census director made his Public Statement. Committee has jurisdiction, but nobody from the Trump Administration informed us about these problems or delays. For these reasons, the committee wrote a letter to the Census Bureau november 19. We asked for documents career officials prepared describing these data problems and the resulting delays. We also requested documents repaired for the department of commerce, including the commerce secretary
Are my own and not to be attributed to the trustees. Of the census accuracy is deeper and more complex than the latest chapter on anomalies. These are problems yet to be found reveal the consequences and risks. To help illustrate the challenges of 2020 census accuracy, i start with Research Conducted by Diana Elliott and i last year to explore 2020 census outcomes. This was precovid. We chose three risk scenarios and used Census Bureau research to simulate 2020 counts. The most optimistic scenario mimicked the performance of the 2010 census, which came in 0001 of population estimate. When we overlaid that performance over the 2020 projection, we discovered a net undercount of the population of 3 . Stated differently, had the pandemic never happened, people of color are historically undercounted, and our wonderful nation, have become more racially and ethnically diverse over the past 10 years. While this 2010 census was accurate for the total u. S. Population, it came at the expense of
The latest chapter on anomalies. These are problems that to be found reveal the consequences. To help illustrate the challenges took 2020 census accuracy i start with Research Conducted by diana elliott, steve and i to explore it 2020 census outcomes. This was precovid. We chose three risk scenarios and use Census Bureau research to simulate 2020 counts. The most optimistic scenario in the performance of the 2010 census which came in within 100th of a of its independent total population. When we overlay that performance onto a 2020 population projection we discovered there was an undercount of the population of 0. 3 . Stated differently had the pandemic never happened and the census went as well as it did in 2010 and undercount would occur. People of color historically edundercounted in our wonderful nation would become more racially b and ethnically divere in the past 10 years. While the 2010 census was accurate for the total u. S. Population became at the expense of fairness. In 2010
Efforts to bring complete mechanization to Mail Processing continue through in Depth Research into latest scientific techniques and developmental operational hardware. Reduction of human effort, removal of the lifting and movement of heavy burdens from human muscle to the machines. Improvement in methods for processing and ever increasing volume of mail. These are some of the fields in which r d engineers are delving and finding new answers. This film will show you a few of the many areas of Research Underway and some of the developing hardware. The use of controlled compressed air is getting increased attention for use in processing mail. The devices could eliminate many moving parts and reduce maintenance costs. As seen in slow motion, this test device in the postal laboratory rolls letters over by controlled jets of air. This fluidic device separates machineable letters from those which will not pass through Mail Processing machines. Another air jet controlled device puts letter mai
Research and latest scientific techniques, and the development of operational hardware. Reduction of human effort, removal of the lifting and movement of heavy burdens from human muscle to the sinews of machine. Improvements in methods for processing, and the ever increasing volume of mail. These are some of the things in which rnd developers are finding new answers. This film will show you a few of the areas of research underway, and some of the developing hardware. The use of controlled and compressed air is getting increased attention for possible use in processing mail. Utilization of control devices could eliminate many moving parts and reduce maintenance costs. As seen in slow motion, this test device and the postal laboratory roles letters over by controlled jets of air. This device separates letters from those that will not pass Mail Processing machines. Another air jet controlled device dates letter to mail in transit. While this one diverts mail automatically. Notice the firs
