The jobs pay $13.50 to $30 an hour.
Think of the gig economy and your mind probably turns to Uber UBER, -4.05% and Lyft LYFT, -1.31% drivers and freelancers. But if you’re looking for a short-term side hustle with competitive wages , you might want to apply for one of the new temp jobs from the U.S. Census Bureau to help conduct the 2020 census.
“We anticipate hiring a total of five hundred thousand temporary workers nationwide — including census takers, recruiting assistants, office staff and supervisory staff,” says Tim Olson, the Census Bureau’s associate director for field operations. “In areas where the Census Bureau has local offices, clerical jobs are also available.”
“Because we need to fill thousands of positions across the country, we start recruiting several months before making job offers,” explains Olson. “Depending on when an individual applies, it may be several weeks or several months before we start hiring in the local area.” “We are looking for multilingual employees,” says Olson. “Since we are focused at hiring at the local level, we are looking for people who can speak the languages in their area.”
Charles G., 48, of Los Angeles, worked for the 2010 census supervising a team of 18 enumerators while between full-time jobs. He agrees that the overall experience was a good one. Another factor making the job tougher than expected, he notes, came from the media cautioning about dangerous individuals impersonating census workers.
