Unemployment numbers will likely be going up, as many of the jobs created in the past few months were, indeed, census jobs.
The census jobs were specifically classified as "temporary" and only averaged 8 weeks per worker, so I do not think those workers can collect unemployment benefits based upon the termination of that work, but I could be wrong...
