U.S. CENSUS SEEKS WORKERS
The U.S Census is hiring!

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 $22 per hour while helping make sure their community is counted during the 2020 Census. Everyone counts!

As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, America gets one chance each decade to count its population. An accurate count is important and increases community access to $675 billion in federal funding, including for roads, schools, emergency services and more. 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 available. 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.
