The Census Bureau is aiming to hire approximately 500,000 census takers in communities nationwide to help conduct the once-a-decade count.
The Census Bureau is working hard to recruit and hire local census takers from the communities they will be counting. Working for the 2020 Census is the perfect opportunity to reserve your place in history and help your community shape its future, all while earning extra income.
Applicants can qualify for both field and office positions. The office positions, which are more limited, will be located in area census offices. The role of these offices is to recruit, select, hire, train, manage, and pay all office and field staff who work within the designated boundaries of the geographic territory assigned to the office. The positions are temporary with varying pay ranges. For Census Takers, the pay starts at $14.00/hour.
