Does the community where they get their mail count them? Maybe some of you ex-workers can explain it.

I always presumed that all around the world workers would be counted in census figures, using a local address of one of the friends or an address of where they are renting if there are no local friends. I can't see any reason why workers would not wish to be included in a census. This is only my presumption.... perhaps a worker can enlighten us...

I had no wish to not be counted, but I suppose it would have depended on whether or not the folks who received our mail included us in their household? I don't remember the question ever coming up, though my 18 years in the work (1980-1998), would have included only one U.S. census... I did get counted in a Pohnpei (Federated States of Micronesia) census in 1985 or '86... As a matrilineal society, one of their census questions was "Where does your mother live?" "Well, she lives in Fairbanks, Alaska right now." I was amused at my own being so "out of context."
