Help California achieve an accurate count. Communicate the importance of filling out and returning the 2010 Census form by April 1 to your employees and customers.

The once-a-decade count of our population directly affects how more than $500 billion per year in federal funding is distributed to state, local and tribal governments. Census data is critical to helping companies make strategically and fiscally sound decisions that sustain economic development and growth and improve the quality of life in all communities.

Californians are now receiving their Census questionnaire, and a Business Resource Guide is available online (click link below), providing easy steps businesses can take to assist California in getting a more accurate count, raise awareness of Census 2010 and spread the word that participation in the Census is easy, important and safe.
