The 2020 Census is underway and the federal government is looking for Livingston County residents to fill a variety of temporary jobs.
The U.S. Census Bureau is looking to hire hundreds of temporary workers in Livingston County ahead of the 2020 Census.
The 2020 Census is in the early stages of conducting its recording of population and housing in the U.S., Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and island areas, which it does every 10 years.
County residents can now apply for part- and full-time jobs, according to a release.
Census takers will be paid $19 an hour and be reimbursed for work-related mileage and expenses, according to the 2020 Census jobs web page, at http://2020census.gov/jobs.
Office operations supervisors assist in the management of office functions and day-to-day activities in areas such as payroll, personnel, recruiting, field operations and support.
Clerks perform various administrative and clerical tasks in support of payroll, personnel, recruiting, field operations and support.
"Applicants are placed in an applicant pool for 2020 Census field positions and are considered as positions become available," according to the release. "Applications will remain active and updateable throughout the 2020 Census recruiting and hiring period."
Most jobs require employees to have a reliable source of transportation and have access to a computer with Internet and an email account in order to complete training.
For those who have another job, the workplace must be compatible with Census Bureau employment and not create a conflict of interest.
The application process will take about 30 minutes, and you will need your social security number, phone number, email address, home address and date of birth to fill it out successfully.
