More than 1000 temporary part time jobs are available to workers in our area as part of Census 2000, according to Maria Gittone, Assistant Manager of Recruiting, U.S. Census Bureau. Census takers and support personnel are needed to help ensure an accurate census count. Census data is used to allocate billions of dollars of federal, state and local funds every year for roads, schools, health care, job training and other community services.
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. People who answer the census help their communities obtain this funding. Completed census forms are the best way to ensure your community is properly represented. Census takers will be needed to work a minimum of 20 hours a week for several weeks. Interested individuals must be 18 years or older and pass a basic skills test.
