Census Bureau is hiring

January 12, 2009

By Staff

The U.S. Census Bureau is seeking job applicants to work for the 2010 Census. Peak hiring is from February through the end of May 2010 for temporary assignments, most lasting five to 10 weeks.

 In 2009, the Census Bureau will hire about 100,000 people to help update the Census Bureau’s address list. 

The workers will use GPS-equipped hand-held computers to verify, add and delete addresses, and they will be paid for training. 

Most positions require U.S. citizenship, a driver’s license and use of a vehicle, and each applicant will undergo a background check. 

To apply, call 866-861-2010 toll-free.
