PRESS RELEASE

White County, Ga. — The U.S. Census Bureau is currently hiring Census Takers for the 2020 Census and will be holding three recruiting sessions on Wednesday Dec. 11 in White County. Starting pay for Census Takers is $17 an hour plus 58 cents a mile for mileage reimbursement. White County needs about 175 Census Takers for the 2020 Census, which takes place in April of 2020.
The first recruiting session for the temporary positions will be from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. at the White County Public Library – Cleveland Branch, located at 10 Colonial Drive, Cleveland. The second session will be from 2 – 4 p.m. at the White County Senior Center, located at 1239 Helen Highway, Cleveland. The third session will be at the library from 5 – 7 p.m.
Recruiters will assist interested workers to fill out the on-line application during the sessions. On-line applications are available at 2020census.gov/jobs for interested parties who can’t attend a recruiting session. Job requirements, frequently asked questions and position descriptions are also available on the website.
“Interested workers need to apply now in order to be ready to work as census takers in the spring,” according to John Sell, White County Census Complete Count Committee Chair. “We need part-time employees to help conduct the 2020 Census and make sure that there is an accurate count of all people living in White County,” Sell said. “The Census count is critical because it is the basis for how more than $675 billion are allocated from more than 100 Federal Programs. The Census count is also used to determine Federal Congressional Districts as well as state and local election districts,” Sell added.
