Your help is not just wanted...it's needed!
The census is a huge and important task. Hundreds of thousands of temporary workers are needed to fill census taker positions. Aside from the sheer volume of people needed to support the largest civilian mobilization in the country, the Census Bureau hires local workers because they know their communities best and often have much in common with others living there. Most hiring will take place in the spring of 2010. The census is used in distributing hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding to states and localities for public programs in education, community health care, public transportation, housing, and other areas.
Even if you've never thought about being a census taker before, do consider this opportunity. Everyone can make a difference.
