Continued Insights From Our Community-of-the-Whole Approach
Written by: Robert Santos, Director
Here’s an insight to think about that emerged from my travel engagements: Public service can take many forms. We at the U.S. Census Bureau embrace our public service mission to provide quality data on our nation’s people, places and economy by collecting and publishing statistical data.
