Well, my God, we have been doing this--we have had, you know, we either have had two-parent families where both go out to work or single-parent families where we hope somebody is working for a very long time, and the notion that we don't know that people aren't home in the middle of the day.
Norton emphasizes the need for understanding working patterns in census data collection.

More from Eleanor Holmes Norton
I am outraged at the number and scope of anti-D.C. home rule riders in the bill released today.
Because there is no limit on how long personal information can be exploited, Congress must protect these federal employees and contractors in perpetuity.
Our local police force should not be subject to federalization, an action that wouldn't be possible for any other police department in the country.
I will use every tool at my disposal to stop these riders from becoming law, and I commit to reminding my fellow lawmakers across the aisle that D.C. residents deserve the same consideration as their own constituents at every opportunity.
