How To Get A U.S. Census Job In Dearborn

DEARBORN, MI —With the 2020 United States Census coming up soon, the city of Dearborn will be hosting an informational kick-off event at 6:20 p.m. Nov. 20 in Studio A of the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Ave.

The public is encouraged to attend the free, educational event, and to also learn how to apply for Census jobs with a pay range from $15-$24.50 an hour.

Dearborn Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr. will be joined by community leaders to highlight the reason for and importance of the Census, and to assure the community about the confidentiality of answers provided in the Census.

“By working together with community partners, we can have a successful Census, to make sure we receive federal funding for things like social service programs, education, roads and public safety— aspects that affect the day-to-day lives of all of our residents,” said Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr.
To receive the most funding for these programs, it is crucial that every member of the Dearborn community be counted in the 2020 Census. Dearborn is estimated to generate $1,800 in federal funding for every resident counted

The U.S. Census Bureau is hiring at $15-$24.50 an hour to make sure everyone is counted in 2020. Check out the employment opportunities here: https://2020census.gov/en/jobs.html

By law, Census responses are confidential. It is a criminal offense for anyone in the Census Bureau to publicly release responses that could identify you or your household, or share your answers with any other government agency.

Dearborn city officials remind everyone that it is also everyone’s civic duty to participate, and the Census is part of the U.S. Constitution. Census Day is April 1, 2020.
