Census Workers Needed

The U.S. Census Bureau is hiring for the 2010 Census. These temporary, part-time jobs offer good pay, flexible hours, paid training and reimbursement for work-related expenses, such as mileage incurred while doing census work.

Every 10 years, the Census Bureau collects data on the nation’s population. The results help determine representation in government, as well as how federal funds are spent.
