Exercise 3

The U.S. Census Bureau lists these benefits from cooperating with the census:
"Census information affects the numbers of seats your state occupies in the U.S.House of Representatives. And people from many walks of life use census data to advocate for causes, rescue disaster victims, prevent diseases, research markets, locate pools of skilled workers and more.
"When you do the math, it's easy to see what an accurate count of residents can do for your community. Better infrastructure. More services. A brighter tomorrow for everyone. In fact, the information the census collects helps to determine how more than $400 billion of federal funding each year is spent on infrastructure and services like:
Hospitals
Job training centers
Schools
Senior centers
Bridges, tunnels and other public works projects
Emergency services" 35
How well do these benefits meet the four characteristics of good audience benefits discussed in this chapter
