Census 2010 info for Taiwanese American Community.
Census 2010 info for Asian American Community.
The Census is a snapshot of the American public. It gives a quick overview of the age, income, and ethnicity of the people who live here.
Taken every 10 years, the information from this snapshot helps the government decide how to distribute $400 billion dollars (or the equivalent of 57 million students’ yearly college tuition) yearly to schools, hospitals, and local development projects. Everything from how we buy houses to how we vote is determined by the data that you provide the Census with. The Census form is secure and is easy to fill out. The form comes in through snail mail, and takes only 10 minutes to fill out and send back. And it does not ask about immigration status. In fact, there’s a penalty if anyone shares your information with other government agencies.
10 minutes is all it takes to improve the next 10 years
十年一度的美國普查即將開始! 只要你住在美國,就會收到普查單, 請大家務必記得填寫,並在第九項勾選"other asian" 並寫下 Taiwanese American. 目前粗估美國有一百萬台美人,但十年前的普查,僅登記了144,795人.
這為什麼很重要呢? 美國國會是依照普查來分配國會預算和資源,所以每一張普查單要有正確確實的記錄,我們才能呈現出美國真正的全貌和族群需求.請大家記得確實填寫普查單!! 謝謝~ 歡迎將此文轉載給親朋好友們!
