Census 2020
The bureau is ramping up its national recruiting efforts to reach its goal of more than two million job applicants in an effort to hire up to 500,000 temporary, part-time census takers for the 2020 Census in communities across the country.
The census program is aiming for 8,500 job applicants in North Dakota to ideally produce 1,600 workers.
The census program raised pay to $18 an hour in Ward County and counties to the south and east, with the exception of Cass, which is at $21. The program also is paying $21 an hour in Burke, Burleigh, Divide, McKenzie, Mountrail and Williams counties.
