Testing for Census Workers

 The U.S. Census has begun a targeted effort in Southern Indiana to recruit workers to take the census next spring.  Census takers (also known as enumerators) are hired to make sure our Indiana cities, towns and counties are represented as accurately as possible.  Their primary responsibility is to collect census information from residents that have not sent back their 2010 census form.  They also explain the purpose of the census and record their responses.

 

Census takers will be placed in their own communities.  These temporary jobs have flexible schedules and will not exceed 40 hours per week.  Census takers will be paid for training and reimbursed for work-related travel.

 

Testing to become a census taker begins next week.  To apply, call 1-866-861-2010 to schedule an appointment to take the census test.  Applicants may not show up at a testing site without an appointment.   For more information, including a practice test, go to the jobs@census link at www.census.gov.

 

All census takers must pass a security background check.  To qualify for a job with the census, applicants must:

·        Be a U.S. Citizen

·        Be at least 18 years old

·        Have a valid Social Security Number

·        Have a valid Driver’s License

·        Bring 2 forms of approved ID to testing site

CENSUS 2010:  IT'S IN OUR HANDS:
In 2010, the U.S. Census will define who we are as a nation.  Taken every 10 years, the census affects political representation and directs the allocation of billions of dollars in government funds.  The census is a count of everyone residing in the United States; in all 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa.  This includes people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, both citizens and non-citizens. 

Every year more than $300 billion in federal funds is awarded to states and communities based on census data.  The data guides local decision makers in important community planning efforts, including where to build new roads, hospitals and schools.  The data affects your voice in Congress by determining how many seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Census questionnaire asks only a few simple questions of each person; name, relationship, gender, age, and date of birth, race and whether the respondent owns or rents his or her home.  The questionnaire only takes a few minutes to complete and return by mail.  The Census Bureau does not release or share information that identifies individual respondents or their households for 72 years.
