So in theory, I should hold off on answering so someone gets paid to come to my house?

Do they have a quota to hit, like if I take my time with them do they get punished?

[sokoloff]

If you believe in the broken window fallacy and have time to kill, yes.

[crooked-v]

There's no quota, but enumerator hours-per-week are based on estimates of work and there's no particular effort to claw back unused time if the actual work is done early, so intentional foot-dragging just takes up de facto paid time the enumerator could spend on other things like school or job-hunting.

Or maybe they would prefer to spend their time finding people who are actually hard to enunerate, rather than wasting on someone who is just looking to consume their time.

[imtringued]

The idea is to get "contacts" and tell them to be "hard to enumerate" and then collect a paycheck.

[dawnerd]

I was putting a hypothetical on helping them make more money, you shouldn't take it seriously.

[downerending]

Just don't set your dog or the cops on them, and they'll be happy enough.
