The US Census Bureau is testing applicants for 2010 Census jobs. For testing locations and additional information call 1-866-861-2010 or visit their website at 2010Censusjobs.gov, says Marilia Matos, the Census Bureau’s associate director for field operations.

The 2010.census.gov Web site Job Seekers link is live. This link gives job seekers the location and pay rate for LCO’s that are and will be opening across the country, she said.

This link can be found at the top right side of the screen in blue.

The U.S. Census Bureau is looking for job applicants to work for the 2010 Census. Peak hiring will be from February 2009 through the end of May 2010 for temporary assignments, most lasting five to 10 weeks, Matos said.

Most positions require U.S. citizenship, a driver’s license and use of a vehicle, and each applicant will undergo a background check. A short-term job with long-term results, 2010 Census positions offer competitive wages and flexible schedules.

“The jobs, which offer competitive wages and flexible schedules, also allow people to work in their neighborhoods and for their neighborhoods,” said Matos.

“We hire locally, and an accurate count means a fair distribution of money for schools, roads, neighborhood improvements and elderly care in your community,” she said.
