Greetings! 
As small business owners we are always looking for new and innovative ways to sell our products and services. The Internet is one place that offers a world of opportunity but only if we can figure out how to maximize its potential. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal ( http://www.jsonline.com/business/65911392.html) tells the story of a Chicago couple who succeeded in creating an online business for their ideas. The article and the links may help you gather enough information to take a leap into the world of Internet marketing/sales.
The holiday season is upon us and the LACC is ready to host what is to be one of the best Holiday parties of the year. On December 10th we will be in the intimate leather lounge at V-LIVE in Chicago. Special entertainment that evening provided by Tito Rojas. Mark your calendars. More detailed information will be coming your way soon!
Saludos,

 2010 Census Recruiting EffortOur recruiting efforts for 2009 census taker jobs has ended. However, our peak recruitment effort begins in the fall of 2009, with the majority of hiring taking place in the spring of 2010. If you would like to prepare for the upcoming recruitment effort, you may download and print the Census Practice Test. The practice test is similar to the actual test, which measures basic skills, abilities, and knowledge required to perform a variety of census jobs.
If you have already applied for a census taker job, your application will remain active and you do not need to reapply. However, if you need to update your contact information provided on your application, you may do so by calling our toll-free Jobs Line at 1-866-861-2010 where you will be routed to your Local Census Office.
