As part of the launch of the 2020 Census recruitment campaign, more than 120 recruiting events will be held throughout Wisconsin the week of October 21-26, 2019, with the goal of recruiting temporary workers for positions beginning in spring, 2020.  Filling these positions is a critical step towards ensuring a complete and accurate census.

 The U.S. Census Bureau needs to hire about 500,000 census takers across the country in 2020. In order to meet this goal, the Census Bureau is starting peak recruiting efforts now. Applying now to work as a census taker is a great way for seasonal workers, students, retirees, and workers in the gig economy to line up spring and summer employment opportunities.
