THE 2010 CENSUS IS HIRING RIGHT NOW!!!!

2010 Census Jobs

The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting temporary, part-time census takers for the 2010 Census. These short-term jobs offer good pay, flexible hours, paid training, and reimbursement for authorized work-related expenses, such as mileage incurred while conducting census work. Best of all, census takers work right in their own communities.

Census taker jobs are excellent for people who want to work part-time, those who are between jobs, or just about anyone who wants to earn extra money while performing an important service for their community.

Home page for Jobs: http://2010.census.gov/2010censusjobs/

Local Offices: http://2010.census.gov/2010censusjobs/how-to-apply/local-office-map.php
You May Qualify to Be a Census Taker If:
You are able to read, write, and speak English.
You are a U.S. citizen.
You are a legal permanent resident, or non-citizen with an appropriate work visa, and you possess a bilingual skill for which there are no available qualified U.S. citizens.

You are at least 18 years old.
You have a valid social security number.
You take a written test of basic skills.
You have a valid driver's license.
You pass a background check.

You commit to four days of training. You will be paid for training days. Training can be held either during daytime hours or during evening and weekend hours.
If you are a male applicant born after 12/31/59, you must confirm that you are registered with the Selective Service System. For more information, please visit the Selective Service System's Web site at: http://www.sss.gov.

Bilingual speakers are encouraged to apply!

All census takers must be able to speak English, but people who have bilingual skills are needed in communities where a large number of residents primarily speak other languages. If you have the appropriate language skills and cultural knowledge to communicate well in your community, we encourage you to apply.
What does the employment test consist of?

The employment test consists of 28 multiple-choice questions designed to measure the basic skills and abilities required to perform a variety of census jobs. These include clerical skills, reading, number skills, interpreting information, evaluating alternatives, and organization skills. You will have 30 minutes to complete the test, and you may retake the test if you would like to improve your test score. If you wish to retake the test, you may do so on another day. You may only take the test once a day.

A practice test similar to the actual test is available at your Local Census Office, or it may be downloaded here.

What Are the Duties of a Census Taker?
Census takers usually work in their own communities, going door-to-door, conducting brief personal interviews with neighbors, helping them to complete their census questionnaire.

What will I do?

As a census taker, you will:
Locate households
Explain the purpose of the census
Conduct brief personal interviews with residents
Record responses on paper forms

What is the work schedule?

Work schedules for census takers typically include 20 to 40 hours of work per week. However, actual work hours per week and length of employment are subject to work availability, which is highly variable. A census taker's employment may end at any time due to lack of work. Also, you must be available to work when people are usually at home, such as in the evenings and on weekends.
