U.S. Census Bureau: ‘We’re hiring’ for 2020

The U.S. Census Bureau needs to hire about 500,000 census takers across the country in 2020 and peak recruiting efforts are underway, including a live news conference detailing national hiring efforts at 9 a.m. PST Tuesday.

The event’s purpose, besides disseminating information about the census, is to answer questions about jobs and the hiring process with the goal of recruiting temporary workers for positions beginning in the spring of 2020. These jobs are critical to ensure a complete and accurate census, census officials say.

Applying early to work as a census taker is a great way for holiday seasonal workers, students, retirees and workers in the gig economy to line up spring and summer employment opportunities, the officials note.

The first step, of course, is to fill out and complete the online job application.

Visit www.census.gov for more information about the news conference and the application.
