Under the Comptroller General's authority, GAO reviewed the extent that the Bureau's (1) recruiting and hiring processes for these staff are consistent with selected human capital principles and (2) training delivery and content take into account known challenges. To answer these questions, GAO analyzed relevant reports and past recommendations to select principles for evaluating these activities, reviewed related Bureau documents, observed the 2006 Census Test in South Dakota and Texas, and interviewed Bureau officials. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-361/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-361.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-361/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-361.pdf GAO-07-361 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-361 Other Written Product GAO-07-361; 2010 Census: Census Bureau Should Refine Recruiting and Hiring Efforts and Enhance Training of Temporary Field Staff; Census Data collection Employee training Federal employees Hiring policies Human capital Performance measures Policy evaluation Strategic planning Temporary employment Training utilization 2010 Decennial Census
