A valid driver’s license is required for most positions. Additionally, the potential Census Bureau employee must be 18 or older, pass a background check, be a U.S. citizen, pass a written test of basic skills and have a valid social security number.

    IF ANYONE KEEPS READING THESE ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT THIS CENSUS COUNT, WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU IS, IF YOU LIVE ON THE STATE LINE, YOU CAN’T JUST TAKE THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THEIR TEST BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE THE TEST IN A CITY ON ONE SIDE OF THE LINE, AND YOU LIVE A MILE OR TWO AWAY, JUST OVER THE LINE, THEY WON’T HIRE YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU LIVE ONE OR TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD, JUST ACROSS THE STATE LINE. THEY NEED TO TELL EVERYONE ALL THE DETAILS BEFOR JUMPING IN HALF-COCKED AND SAYING, “WE’RE GIVING TESTS TO GET THE JOB, COME TAKE THE TEST.” THEN, LATER YOU FIND OUT, OH, WE CAN’T HIRE YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU LIVE RIGHT HERE WHERE YOU TOOK THE TEST, BECAUSE YOU LIVE JUST ACROSS THE STATE LINE.
