Recruiting Events in Milwaukee for 2020 Census Jobs

 

By - Dec 27th, 2019 03:28 pm

Wisconsin – The U.S. Census Bureau continues its efforts to recruit for temporary “census taker” positions in communities across Wisconsin in advance of the 2020 Census. Pay rates in Wisconsin have increased and now range from $17.00 to $24.00 per hour.

Those who apply will be placed in an applicant pool for 2020 Census positions for which they qualify, as jobs become available in their area. These positions offer competitive pay, flexible hours, paid training and weekly paychecks.

Census takers will be hired to work in their respective communities and go door-to-door to collect responses from those who do not respond to the 2020 Census online, by phone or by mail.  Census taker positions provide an opportunity for people employed or unemployed to earn (extra) income while helping their community.

Upcoming “Applicant Day” recruiting events (where anyone interested can apply for a job at any of these events) in Milwaukee and Wauwatosa include:
