The 2020 Census is quickly approaching. As part of Census Efforts, the U.S. Census Bureau is hiring thousands of temporary jobs for census takers to ensure a complete count.
Massachusetts needs 54,000 applicants for 2020 Census efforts, but only has received about 17,000 applications so far. Census takers must be hired from all communities across the Commonwealth to ensure a complete count.
The pay range for these jobs are $22.50-$27.50 per hour. Working as a census taker for the 2020 Census is a great way to make extra money while helping your community.

Hi Will,
Michael did it 10 years ago, and applied for the 2020 Census. He hasn’t heard from them yet, and is hoping for a good word from you!
Thanks so much, and Merry Christmas!
