Census Bureau to hire 48,000 in Wisconsin
Published December 31, 2009 - BizTimes Daily
The U.S. Census Bureau’s Chicago Regional Census Center announced that about 48,000 people are now being recruited across the state of Wisconsin to work as Census takers for the 2010 Census between December, 2009, and June, 2010.
Tests for the positions - which pay between $11.50 and $15 per hour - are taking place through January at locations throughout the state.
“These jobs allow people to work in - and for - their neighborhoods,” said Stanley Moore, Chicago regional director for the Census Bureau. “Even though most are part-time, temporary jobs lasting two to six weeks, working on this once-a-decade headcount allows census takers to be a part of history.”
The Census hires locally, and applicants are required to take a basic skills test and undergo a background check. Most jobs also require U.S. citizenship, a driver’s license, use of a vehicle and the ability to go door-to-door to interview residents.
Information about testing times and locations across Wisconsin is available by calling 1-866-861-2010. More information about the positions, including application forms and a practice test, is available at www.2010censusjobs.gov.
