US Census is Looking to Hire Workers

The federal government is gearing up to hire workers to conduct the census.  Most of these jobs pay $15 per hour for up to 30 hours a week for approximately 15 weeks or more.  There are also some full-time, temporary jobs.  Some of the hiring is through the Department of Labor’s One-stop system and there is a basic employment test that people have to take.
