Census Job Fairs

The United States Census takes place this year. To conduct the census, the Census Bureau hires thousands of workers for jobs in their communities. Come learn about job opportunities with the United States Census 2020. Staff from the Norfolk County Census Office will be on hand mid-January through mid-February to answer questions and walk you through the application process.
|
|
Job fairs will take place Tuesday afternoons at the Coolidge Corner Library, Wednesday evenings at the Putterham Library, and Thursday evenings at the Brookline Village Library. For a full schedule, check out our calendar. You can learn more about Census jobs at 2020census.gov/jobs.
