The city of Joliet has contracted with the U. S. Census Bureau to conduct a special census within portions of the community.
The census will occur during late summer and will primarily focus upon the westernmost portion of Joliet that has experienced high growth since 2010. Accounting for increased population allows the city to collect additional revenues from the State of Illinois which helps support police, fire and public works services within Joliet.
The city is assisting the Census Bureau with recruitment of census takers. Prospective applicants must be at least 18 years of age; pass a written test of basic skills, pass a criminal background check, be able to work days, evenings and weekends, and work 25 to 40 hours each week. Census takers will work for approximately 30 days once the Census begins. The pay range is $11.99 to $16.49 per hour.
Applications are available at Human Resources, City of Joliet, 150 W. Jefferson Street, Joliet, Illinois, or at the website: www.cityofjoliet.info/departments/human-resources. The U. S. Census Bureau is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
