The U.S Census Bureau has opened offices in Lexington and Louisville and will be filling 2,000 jobs across the state for early census operations.  In 2009, they will open five additional census offices in Kentucky to carry out the 2010 Census and will need people in every community in the state.

The jobs pay up to $13/hour and the door-to-door census jobs are some of the very best canvassing experience you can get in a non-election year.  We encourage all of our members to consider applying - because it's decent money and because you'll build skills that are valuable in community organizing and in non-partisan Voter Empowerment work especially.

The jobs are temporary, and some are part-time. Visit www.2010censusjobs.gov for more information and to apply. You can also call toll-free 1-866-861-2010 if you're interested.
