Testing for Census
Workers
The U.S. Census has begun a targeted effort in Southern Indiana to recruit
workers to take the census next spring. Census takers (also known as
enumerators) are hired to make sure our Indiana cities, towns and counties are
represented as accurately as possible. Their primary responsibility is to
collect census information from residents that have not sent back their 2010
census form. They also explain the purpose of the census and record their
responses.
Census takers will be placed in their own communities. These temporary jobs have
flexible schedules and will not exceed 40 hours per week. Census takers will be
paid for training and reimbursed for work-related travel.
Testing to become a census taker begins next week. To apply, call 1-866-861-2010
to schedule an appointment to take the census test. Applicants may not show up
at a testing site without an appointment. For more information, including a
practice test, go to the jobs@census link at www.census.gov.
All census takers must pass a security background check. To qualify for a job
with the census, applicants must:
• Be a U.S. Citizen
• Be at least 18 years old
• Have a valid Social Security Number
• Have a valid Driver’s License
• Bring 2 forms of approved ID to testing site
