The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution
to make this count every 10 years. The data collected by the Census helps communities receive more
than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like hospitals, job training centers, schools and more.
In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico.
When you receive yours,
just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid
envelope provided. If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will
ask you the questions from the form. The majority of the country will receive English–only materials.
Households in areas with high concentrations of Spanish-speaking residents may receive a
bilingual (English/Spanish) form.
Any personal data you provide is protected under federal law.

The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting temporary, part-time census takers for the 2010 Census. These
short-term jobs offer good pay, flexible hours, paid training, and reimbursement for authorized
work-related expenses, such as mileage incurred while conducting census work. Best of all, census
takers work right in their own communities.
Census taker jobs are excellent for people who want to work part-time, those who are between jobs,
or just about anyone who wants to earn extra money while performing an important service for their community.
