Census Bureau recruiting temporary Census Takers

Hundreds of temporary Census takers are being recruited on the Central Coast by the U.S. Census Bureau.

They say it’s in advance of its Nonresponse Followup Operation for the 2020 Census. The pay rate is $20 per hour.

The Census Bureau says the operation is an integral part of the 2020 Census program that ensures a complete and accurate count.

The operation counts people in person at housing units who have not self-responded to the decennial census questionnaire.

They say the operation requires more workers in the field than any other operation for the national population count which happens every 10 years.

The Census Bureau says the count influences how more than $675 billion from more than 100 federal programs are distributed to states and localities each year.
