US Census Is Hiring: Tri-Valley Residents Earn Up To $25 Per Hour

TRI-VALLEY, CA — The week of Oct. 21 represents the launch of the U.S. Census Bureau's nationwide recruiting efforts. Residents interested in working for the U.S. Census can earn up to $25 per hour in the Tri-Valley while helping make sure their community is counted during the 2020 census, according to the bureau.

An accurate count is important and increases community access to $675 billion in federal funding, including for roads, schools, emergency services and more, according to the bureau.

Census data also helps decide congressional boundaries and representation.

Hundreds of census workers are needed, primarily enumerators who will assist residents in filling out the census. Competitive pay and flexible hours are available, according to the bureau.

Eligibility criteria includes being a U.S. citizen at least 18 years old, having a valid Social Security number and e-mail address, and completing an application and assessment.

Background checks and access to a vehicle are also required.
