At stake in the upcoming Census is our community’s representation in Congress and in the New York State legislature, as well as our share of federal and state dollars. It has never been more important to see that every Syracuse resident is counted, especially the population groups that most rely on federal and state support for medical care, housing, nutrition, and other life-sustaining benefits. 

Directing the local program will be a Complete Count Committee, composed of a cross section of community leaders whose role it will be to plan and implement local publicity and outreach activities.  The Census 2010 Complete Count Committee will develop strategies and involve organizations to outreach to specific populations in the community.

2010 Census Jobs

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.

Most jobs pay between $13.50 to $15.00 per hour.

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.
Hundreds of thousands are needed for temporary jobs
Conducting the census is a huge undertaking. Hundreds of thousands of census takers are needed nationwide to help locate households and conduct brief personal interviews with residents. Most positions require a valid driver's license and use of a vehicle. However, use of public transportation may be authorized in certain areas.

Your community is counting on you!

Every 10 years, the Census Bureau takes a snapshot of our population, determining how many people reside within the nation's borders, who they are, and where they live. The results help determine your representation in government, as well as how federal funds are spent in your community on things like roads, parks, housing, schools, and public safety. As a census taker, you'll play a vital role in making sure that everyone is counted.
Bilingual speakers are encouraged to apply
All census takers must be able to speak English, but people who have bilingual skills are needed in communities where a large number of residents primarily speak other languages. If you have the appropriate language skills and cultural knowledge to communicate well in your community, we encourage you to apply.

Apply today by contacting our local census office at 315-218-1520 or our toll free number at 866-861-2010.
