The U.S. Census Bureau is searching for people who live in the Mon Valley to help conduct the 2020 census.
On Monday, the bureau will celebrate Census Day 2019 in recognition of the “one year out milestone” from the 2020 census. Organizers are expected to urge U.S. citizens who are 18 and older, have a Social Security number and computer skills and are willing to submit to a background check to apply for a job to help “collect the count.”
The bureau is seeking a combined total of more than 13,000 people to fill temporary, part-time census job positions in Allegheny, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties.
Workers must be willing to hit the streets and knock on doors as census takers or work as recruiting assistants, office staff or supervisory staff, according to Assistant Regional Census Manager Roxanne Wallace.
