CENSUS 2000 Jobs for Hungarian Americans It is crucial to the future of our community that all Hungarian Americans, those horn in the US, as well as Hungarian immigrants, fill out the census form and fill in American" for the Ancestry question. We need to know how many of us there are and where we are! This will mean benefits in Federal, state and local funding programs. We need to know our numbers to know our political strength. By taking a job with the Census you can help find and count your fellow Hungarian Americans. BE COUNTED! Census Bureau Director Kenneth Prewitt has launched a nationwide campaign to recruit temporary workers. The bureau hopes to build a pool of 3 million qualified applicants, from which it will hire about 500,000 people to fill 860,000 positions over the course of census operations. (Some workers will be asked to perform more than one job.) The goal, the director said, "is to have a pool of local people who are familiar with their communities and committed to a successful count in their own neighborhoods." Dr. Prewitt also announced that the Bureau has opened all 520 local census offices, with help from the General Services Administration. Individuals interested in applying for a census job may call a toll-free number, 1-888-325-7733. This call will be answered by your local Census Bureau recruiting center. Pay rates range from $8.25 to $18.50 per hour, depending on the type of work and the location. US citizenship is not required. For more information, see the Internet: http://www.census.gov/iobs2000
