Census year will provide 1,400 jobs in Wyandotte County
February 2, 2010
The year 2010 means another census year and with it, new census-taking jobs.
According to the Census Bureau Web site, hundreds of thousands of census takers are needed nationwide. And according to the Unified Government of Wyandotte County’s weekly newsletter, ENews Source, about 1,400 census-taking jobs will need to be filled in Wyandotte County alone.
Part-time census takers work in their own communities and are offered good pay and flexible hours. Census takers will help to locate households and conduct resident interviews in aiding the Bureau to determine how many people live within a given city.
Most positions require a valid driver’s license and ownership of a functioning vehicle, but some areas may allow public transportation.
To apply or for more information, contact the Kansas City Census Office at (913) 233-8420. Census takers in the Kansas City metro area start at $14.75 per hour.
A census is taken every 10 years, with the last census being taken in 2000.

Point of View
The postal service is cutting back hours at some rural post offices. How often do you go to the post office?
“For my own personal use, I only go a couple times a year to mail gifts, usually around Christmas and family birthdays. At that time I usually buy a couple books of stamps that last for most of the year! For professional use, I go a couple times a month to check our PO Box.”
