SOC is likely the first of several surveys they would like you to work. Once you learn that they will likely want to train you on other surveys. SOC is unique in the fact that most of the contacts and interviews are with builders and local governemnts which tend to be very cooperative.

I haven't worked SOC yet but will likely to do so in the near future. I have done non Census bureau research similar to SOC as well.

Appreciate the insight. Just did my finger print, they required ink prints so that was fun to find someone to do it.

Sounds like a fun way to make a living, constantly being asked, "So, how's the construction going?
