Even though the census is a year away, census workers are needed soon. Our state will need about 4,000 temporary workers.
Census forms will be sent to households across the country in March 2010. April 1 of that year is the deadline for returning forms by mail.
The census, conducted every decade, is key to formulas that determine how much federal funding Washington receives.
For more information about the census or the jobs, call 866-861-2010 or visit www.census.gov/rosea/www/emply.html.
