Does the EEO Program set up for the dress rehearsal (a new automated system) adequately track complaints? Does it ensure that specific tasks related to a complaint are completed? Does it lead to a possible resolution of the complaint?

G8. Field Infrastructure: Recruiting Activities.

Were the Census Bureau's recruiting activities successful? Which specific sources of applicants were the best? Were the activities done at the right time? What advertising sources were most effective? What did it cost?

G9. Field Infrastructure: Welfare to Work.

Did the Census Bureau's dress rehearsal Welfare to Work Program work? That is, how well were census recruiters and partnership specialists able to identify state, local, and tribal government resources, as well as community resources, to aid in the development of an applicant pool of welfare recipients?
