Young Professionals Census Forum

Please join us and some of the City's premier leaders to learn more about the census and to discuss the barriers young people might face attempting to participate.

According to a recent Pew Study, only about one third of people under 30 definitely plan to participate in the 2010 census.
 
This is the case, despite the fact the census will be used by employers to decide whether to locate jobs in Philadelphia, by businesses to decide whether to open new stores and restaurants in our neighborhoods, and by government to decide where to locate new housing and to improve infrastructure.

Please join us and some of the City’s premier leaders to learn more about the census and to discuss the barriers young people might face attempting to participate.
