Census Bureau to hire 47,000 in Wisconsin

Last update: November 9, 2009 - 10:26 AM

MADISON, Wis. - The U.S. Census Bureau is looking to hire 47,000 people for temporary jobs in Wisconsin next year.

Most of the jobs, paying $11 to $15 an hour, involve going door-to-door to interview residents who don't respond to a questionnaire to be mailed prior to Census Day on April 1, 2010.

The temporary employees will work in their own communities on evenings and weekends for about two to six weeks.

The 47,000 jobs in Wisconsin will be divided in eight regions.
