Census Office Will Hire 3,000 Tennesseans

Jump to Comments

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) – The U.S. Census Bureau has opened three census offices in Tennessee and plan to hire 3,000 people in Tennessee.

Offices have been opened in Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis to carry out early 2010 Census operations. The offices are looking for qualified applicants to fill jobs across the state’s 95 counties. Positions include address listers, office clerks, recruiting assistants, crew leaders and field operation supervisors.

The jobs are temporary; some are full time and others part time. Census jobs offer flexible schedules and allow close-to-home employment. Pay starts at $9.75 an hour and varies depending on job and location.

The census employees will help develop an address list in spring 2009. The address list will be used to deliver census questionnaires in 2010.

Those interested in applying for these jobs should go to here for job descriptions, qualifications and applications. Potential applicants also can call toll free 1-866-861-2010.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens, age 18 and older, and pass a basic aptitude test. Most jobs require a valid driver’s license and use of a car

  • Hi Karen,

    Sorry but this blog isn’t the right place to post your phone number = not real safe today. Would suggest that perhaps you upload your resume to our sister website http://www.localjobs.com as that site is focused on offering jobs for the Knoxville TN market. Thanks for your input though to the blog :)

    Brian
