Census Bureau Recruits Workers for Next Year’s National Survey
Census takers for 1990 are being recruited in Los Angeles County.
More than 600 temporary jobs are available from the U.S. Census Bureau. Workers will be employed for six weeks at $6 an hour. Paid training and car mileage are included.
Qualified applicants must be U.S. citizens, 18 or older and take a written test.
Census takers canvass designated areas by driving and walking--usually close to their homes--to check a prepared list of addresses with existing residential units.
“Although the 1990 census will be taken about a year from now . . . we must prepare our mailing lists now to ensure that each household will receive its questionnaire in the mail,” said John Reeder, Los Angeles regional director of the Census Bureau.
Interested county residents should contact the Compton or Long Beach census offices.
The Compton office is in the Compton Transit Center, 305 N. Tamarind St., Suite 1A, Compton 90220. Telephone 762-1230 for more information.
The Long Beach office is at 6621 E. Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 100, Long Beach 90803. For information phone 799-1329.
