FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE Temporary Census Takers Being Hired for 2010 Count Call 1-866-861-2010 to apply for local positions. Drexel Hill -- The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting temporary, part-time census takers for the 2010 Census, offering good pay and flexible hours, state Sen. Ted Erickson (R-26) said today. The jobs also offer paid training and reimbursement for authorized work-related expenses, such as mileage incurred while conducting census work. Census takers work in their own communities. The positions are attractive for people who want to work part-time, those who are between jobs, or anyone who wants to earn extra money while performing an important service for their community. Locally, the pay for census takers start at $17.75 per hour. Hundreds of thousands of census takers are needed nationwide to help locate households and conduct brief personal interviews with residents. Most positions require a valid driver’s license and use of a vehicle. However, use of public transportation may be authorized in certain areas. 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. Every 10 years, the Census Bureau takes a snapshot of the population, determining how many people reside within the nation's borders, who they are, and where they live. The results help determine representation in government, as well as how federal funds are spent on things like roads, parks, housing, schools, and public safety. You can apply by calling 1-866-861-2010. For more information, visit http://2010.census.gov/2010censusjobs/.
