Census 2020 Jobs Paying Up To $25 An Hour Open In Loudoun County

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA — The Loudoun Workforce Resource Center is hosting a full-day event Jan. 8, 2020, with the U.S. Census Bureau to recruit census takers. Hundreds of U.S. census takers are needed to canvass door-to-door in Loudoun neighborhoods from spring through summer 2020.

Census takers will interview members of households that have not responded to the census to collect census information. Taken every 10 years, the census determines how much money communities receive for aid programs, such as school meals, crime victim assistance and housing vouchers. It also affects how state legislative districts are drawn and the number of congressional representatives for each state.

The census taker positions, which have a starting pay of $25.00 per hour, may be part-time and flexible. Paid training for U.S. census takers is provided as well. Applicants must be U.S. citizens with access to reliable transportation.

The recruitment event is being held on Jan. 8, 2020, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at Rust Library, 380 Old Waterford Road NW in Leesburg. The event will be structured as a series of back-to-back information sessions every hour; each session will include a 30-minute presentation followed by 20 to 25 minutes of application assistance. Sessions will begin every hour on the half-hour, with the last session starting at 2:30 p.m.

Participants should bring their own technology (phone, tablet, laptop) or plan to use a library computer (a one-day library pass can be provided if not a library card holder) to access the online Census Bureau application and assessments. Registration is not required to attend or participate in the event. Contact the Loudoun Workforce Resource Center at 703-777-0150 if you have questions about the event.

The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors established the county's Complete Count Committee to raise awareness about the 2020 census and to help increase the response rate to the census questionnaire.
