The U.S. Census Bureau is now recruiting hundreds of temporary Census Takers in Washington in advance of its Nonresponse Follow-up Operation for the 2020 Census. The pay rate is $16–23 per hour.
The primary purpose of the Nonresponse Follow-up Operation is to count people in person at housing units who have not self-responded to the decennial census questionnaire. Census Takers visit and enumerate those households.
The decennial count influences how more than $675 billion from more than 100 federal programs are distributed to states and localities each year.
This temporary position is a good fit for students (aged 18 and older), retirees, holiday seasonal workers, and gig workers.
