Census needs thousands of people to fill jobs




The U.S. Census Bureau will hire thousands of people throughout the Kansas City Region for the six states of Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas between now and next spring. Up to a total of 35,000 people will be on staff during peak times.

“This is the largest civilian mobilization of workers in the history of the United States” said Dennis Johnson, regional director.

These are good paying, temporary jobs that range from $11.50 to $20 per hour plus mileage for the field positions of Recruiting Assistants, Crew Leaders, Crew Leader Assistants and Census Takers. The pay for Census Clerks ranges from $7.50 to $12.75 per hour depending on location. There may be some opportunities for advancement.

Positions are available in every community. Those hired locally will work out of the Census Offices located in Duluth.

The U. S. Census Bureau encourages interested persons to apply by calling the toll-free Jobs Line at 1-866-861-2010.
