Another Chance To Take Census Test

February 24, 2010

There is another opportunity this week in Jay for area residents to take the test to qualify for local U.S. Census Bureau jobs that pay up to $15 per hour.

The Census Bureau is currently hiring temporary employees to assist with this year’s census. Jobs will include census takers, crew leaders, crew leader assistant and census clerks.

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.

The Census Bureau hires locally because local residents are knowledgeable about their neighborhood and familiar with the community, its residents, and its local customs, according to their web site.

Persons taking one of the North Escambia census tests must have their valid driver’s license and social security card. Census tests will be given in the North Escambia area for Florida residents as follows:

  • Thursday, February 25, 6 p.m.: Jay Public Library

Residents of  areas outside of northern Escambia and Santa Rosa counties should call (866) 861-2010 for information about testing locations in their area.
