The U.S. Census Bureau announced it has thousands of part-time positions available for the 2020 Census, and it will hold a hiring event on Friday, Jan. 10, in hopes of filling those vacancies.
Organizers said the goal is to hire temporary census workers, office personnel and more.
In the spring, census takers will knock on doors to follow up with households that have not responded to the census questionnaire.
“Census taker positions are high-paying jobs with flexible hours. It's the perfect opportunity for students, retirees, part-time workers, and everyone looking to earn extra income,” a news release read.
In the LA area, the pay rate is $21-$23 an hour for supervisory and non-supervisory positions, according to the Census Bureau.
The hiring event, which will feature information on available jobs and the duties of each position, is scheduled to take place at the following time and place:
- Friday, Jan. 10, 2020
- 10 a.m. -- 4 p.m.
- 2020 Census Office
- 6013 Randolph St., Commerce, 90040
