And if you're looking for a part-time job or want to earn some extra money, the Census Bureau is looking for temporary census takers. These short-term jobs offer good pay, flexible hours, paid training and reimbursement for work-related expenses. Census takers typically work varied hours in their own neighborhoods, up to 40 hours a week. Responsibilities can include locating households, updating address lists and conducting household interviews.
