The U.S. Census happens just once a decade, and it takes a lot of American workers to pull it off. In fact, it is the largest peacetime deployment of civil servants across the country. These positions offer competitive pay, flexible hours, paid training, and weekly paychecks. If you are looking for a temporary gig, this could be the perfect opportunity. Pay rates in Travis County range from $17.00 to $23.00 per hour.
The selection process for census taker positions begins in January 2020, with paid training occurring in March and April. The actual counting of non-responding households runs throughout the nation from May through early July. The census officially begins on April 1, 2020, and for the first time ever, it will have an online option, which will make filling out the form easy, safe, and secure. ​Learn more about the census here.
