U.S. Census Bureau Needs Your Help Good news for the new year! The U.S. Census Bureau is offering jobs. Please encourage everyone you know to apply and take the census test.
The U.S. Census Bureau is looking for hundreds of temporary workers to help count everyone in Vermont in 2010.
Most of the jobs are for people who will work in the field earning $13.50 an hour. Workers are needed to drop off census questionnaires at homes in March, and conduct face-to-face interviews in late spring and early summer with Vermonters who fail to return their questionnaires by mail. Positions are part- to full-time, with many requiring evening and weekend hours. They offer flexible schedules and are close-to-home.
To apply for work, applicants must take a 30-minute multiple-choice test. Tests are currently being offered at various times of day at convenient locations across the state. Anyone interested in taking a test can call 1-866-861-2010 toll free or 802-264-0860 to make an appointment.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens and age 18 or older, have two forms of identification and pass a background check. Most jobs require a valid driver’s license and a reliable vehicle.
For more information contact Ellen Biddle, assistant manager for recruiting, by phone at 802-264-0843 or email at

Census population counts help determine how $400 billion in federal funds are distributed annually to communities across the country. They also are used to determine the shape of legislative and local government districts. |
