The Census Project says the warning signs are back, calling the path to 2030 a “Census Groundhog Day” moment that echoes the troubles of 2020. From lagging timelines to unresolved operational risks, the report suggests the bureau is once again running out of runway. Steve Jost and Howard Feinberg join us to explain what’s at stake. Steve is Senior Advisor for Avoq, and a consultant to The Census Project. Howard is Senior VP for Advocacy at the Insights Association and co-director of the Census Project.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
