Census positions provide the perfect opportunity to earn extra income while helping your community. The results of the 2020 Census will help determine your state’s representation in Congress, as well as how certain funds are spent for schools, hospitals, roads, and more. This is your chance to play a part in history and help ensure everyone in your community is counted. In addition to supporting your community, census jobs offer weekly pay, flexible hours, and paid training. 
People can apply for 2020 Census work if they are at least 18 years old, a U.S. Citizen, and have a valid Social Security number and email address. Men born after Dec 31, 1959 must also be registered with the Selective Service System or have qualifying exception.
As part of the application process, applicants will be asked questions related to their educational work, work, and other experiences. Potential employees must have access to a vehicle and a valid driver’s license, unless public transportation is readily available. Employees should also have access to an Internet-connected computer (to complete the training process).
