Applicants must provide two forms of identification to take the test, preferably a social security card or a passport and another form of photo identification. All appropriate training will be provided and authorized travel expenses will be covered. Pay scales are competitive. People who answer the census help their communities obtain this funding for roads, schools, health care, job training and other community services. Completed census forms are the best way to ensure your community is properly represented.
All information obtained is kept strictly confidential.
By law, the Census Bureau cannot share individual answers it receives with others, including welfare agencies, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Internal Revenue Service, courts, police, and the military. Testing will be conducted at various sites throughout the county through May, 2000. To qualify for a position as a census taker, it is recommended you take the basic skills test as soon as possible. Please report promptly to your test site at the indicated times. Anyone who took the test in 1999 may call the same toll free number for test results.
