January 13, 2010
The United States Census 2010 :”It’s in Our Hands”
The Census Department is staffing up to hire Census takers to support the Census 2010. These temporary positions will start in late March 2010 and end in August 2010.
Census takers work in their communities locating households to explain the purpose of the census, conduct personal interviews with respondents who failed to return their 2010 Census questionnaire, and record their responses on paper forms. In most cases, a valid driver’s license and use of a vehicle are required to work as a census taker.
Each applicant must take a 30 minute basic skills test consisting of 28 multiple choice uestions measuring knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform a variety of census jobs.
Census taker schedules typically include 20 to 40 hours of work per week. You must be available to work when people are usually home, such as in the evening and on weekends.
More information, including a practice test, is available at:
