There are many job opportunities available to older Pennsylvanians who want to work for extra money or get out and do more in the community. There even may be job openings right in your neighborhood. Pennsylvania area agencies on aging and state job centers administer a number of state and federally funded job programs for older residents.
Jobs are available through private companies, as well as with government agencies.
You also may want to consider earning extra income by performing pre-Census 2000 duties for the United States Bureau of the Census. For about six weeks this year, the Census Bureau will use enumerators to verify and correct its list of residential addresses before mailing census questionnaires. Anyone interested must be able to work approximately 30 hours a week on a flexible time schedule. The salaries vary depending on the job and location, and all applicants must pass a written Bureau of the Census examination to be hired. I was surprised to hear that Pennsylvania has no law or guidelines surrounding the safe use of anesthesia on children.
