Census takers usually work in their own communities, going door-to-door, conducting brief personal interviews with neighbors, helping them to complete their census questionnaire.
What will I do?
As a census taker, you will:
- Locate households
- Explain the purpose of the census
- Conduct brief personal interviews with residents
- Record responses on paper forms
What is the work schedule?
Work schedules for census takers typically include 20 to 40 hours of work per week. However, actual work hours per week and length of employment are subject to work availability, which is highly variable. A census taker's employment may end at any time due to lack of work. Also, you must be available to work when people are usually at home, such as in the evenings and on weekends.
