I took the test way back during the Summer months. I scored high - I only missed a couple... but, I'm not a veteran.
After seeing this post, I actually called to ask them when they'd be hiring. I was told that were still testing through the end of January. Jobs start in February through March.
What a waste of time it was for me to even take the test. It was obvious, due to way they score the tests, that the only ones who will be hired are veterans.
It would be interesting to know how many people they've tested so far...
Veterans are given a xtra 5 points. Disabled vets are given 10. I took the test today & only got 11 out of 28 questions correct. With my vet status i got a total of 16. I wont be hired therefore vets do NOT get top priority unless they get a decent score. I was just horrible today. Oh well....
They called me last night for an enumerator position. At this point, I'm working 30 hours a week and can't participate in their 32 hour 9-5 training so I can't take the job.
"The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting temporary, part-time census takers for the 2010 Census. These short-term jobs offer good pay, flexible hours, paid training, and reimbursement for authorized work-related expenses, such as mileage incurred while conducting census work. Best of all, census takers work right in their own communities. Census taker jobs are excellent for people who want to work part-time, those who are between jobs, or just about anyone who wants to earn extra money while performing an important service for their community."
That's not bad actually. I thought I read somewhere that it was $12/hr.
It depends on where you live/work. In states with higher costs of living like mine, the pay is higher. In places with lower costs of living, such as, say, Mississippi, the pay is lower. I think the range is $12 to $20 an hour.
According to the local news the census taker jobs will last 2-6 weeks.
