Job applicants must be at least 18 years old, have a valid Social Security number, be able to pass a background check, and complete a 30-minute, multiple-choice, employment test that measures knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform a variety of census jobs.
In most cases, workers will also be required to possess a valid driver’s license and have use of a vehicle.
U.S. Citizenship is required to work for the 2010 Census except in rare occasions when no qualified U.S. citizens are available.
We are seeking bilingual applicants throughout the district.

Search by County now available

You are now able to search for listings by County. If you are on a search screen in RE/Xplorer, click Edit Search (in the upper left), go to New Fields and select County. This will add the County field to your search screen, and then you can use the lookup to select the specific county you want.

If you are in PC Access, you can go to a blank line in your search and type county= and then the name of the county you want. You can also select County from the lists of fields at the top of the search screen. Hit the Page Down button to navigate through the pages of fields. County is at the end of the list (number 102).

Keep in mind- you will not be able to input a County when entering a listing- the County field will automatically populate based on the town your listing is in.

Please Help Our Haitian Neighbors

In light of the devastating earthquake that recently struck Haiti, the United Haitian-American Society in collaboration with Save the Children, Brien McMahon High School and Red Cross have begun efforts to raise funds in our area to help our Haitian neighbors and are now calling on you to help in that endeavor. If you have already made a contribution, thank you. In the event that you have not yet contributed and would like to, you are asked to make your contribution to The Haiti Relief Fund of Fairfield County. Accounts have been set up at Wachovia, Webster, People’s Bank and Fairfield County Bank where you can make a direct donation in the form of check or money order. The United Haitian-American Society would like to extend our committee to you and to all others who would like to get involved. If you are interested in helping out please call GFC CMLS member, Guy Bocicaut at 203 855-8200.
You can also make a donation via credit card right from your computer simply by going to either the Americares website: http://www.americares.org/ or the American Red Cross website: http://www.redcross.org/
