U.S. Census Board Job Opportunity |
The U.S. Census Board is currently recruiting people to work on the 2010 Census in Lake County. The conducting of a census requires the filling of a wide variety of temporary jobs. The greatest staffing need is for census takers.
These enumerators work in their communities locating households, explaining the purpose of the census, conducting personal interviews with respondents who fail to return their 2010 Census questionnaire, and recording 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.
The benefits available include good pay, weekly payment, paid training, and reimbursement for authorized mileage and other work-related expenses.
If you are interested in this opportunity to help your community have a successful 2010 Census, you are encouraged to visit:
www.2010censusjobs.gov
and call the national census number - 866-861-2010 - to apply.
