從為共乘載公司開車到線上銷售自製工藝品,越來越多的美國人以新穎和有創意的方式賺取額外收入。

Census Hiring Schedule
人口普查招聘時間表

The 2020 Census is a count of every person living in the United States on April 1, 2020, the official Census Day. It asks a few simple questions, including age and number of people living in the home. It not only counts people but also where they are living on Census Day.
2020年人口普查是對2020年4月1日(官方人口普查日)居住在美國的每個人進行統計。它提出了一些簡單的問題,包括年齡和住宅中居住人數。它不僅統計人口,而且統計人們在人口普查日所住的住所。

The Census Bureau is set to launch its nationwide address canvassing operation in August to update maps and address lists across the country.
人口普查局定於8月份啟動全國地址調查活動,以更新全國的地圖和地址列表。

About 50,000 temporary census workers will check more than 50 million addresses throughout the nation over a six-week period to see if any new residences (or addresses) were added. The Census Bureau wants to make sure that every address in the nation receives an invitation in March 2020 to respond to the census.
大約50萬名臨時人口普查員,將在六週內檢查全國超過五千萬個地址,以查看是否增加了新的住所(或地址)。人口普查局希望確保全國所有地址在2020年3月都收到邀請以回覆人口普查。

In early 2020, the Census Bureau will begin hiring census takers to visit individual homes to help residents complete their forms if they haven’t already responded online, by phone or through a paper questionnaire.
2020年初,人口普查局將開始僱用人口普查員訪問各個住宅,以幫助尚未通過線上、電話或書面問卷回覆的居民填寫表格。

These door-to-door jobs are usually done in the evenings and on weekends. Positions also will be available at regional and local offices during more traditional daytime hours.
這些家訪工作通常在晚上和週末進行。地區和當地辦事處也將提供一般白天時段的職位。

Until now, hiring was all done via paper applications and in-person testing sessions. Now, it’s online. If selected, people will provide fingerprints and undergo a background check before they can begin working.
在以前,招聘工作都是通過書面申請和現場測試會議完成的。現在,它也可以通過線上申請了!如果被選中,受聘者將提供指紋並接受背景調查,然後才能開始工作。

Speak a Second Language? The Census Bureau Wants You
說第二語言?人口普查局需要您

Despite low unemployment rates in much of the nation, the Census Bureau expects to fill all available jobs, said Timothy Olson, the Census Bureau’s associate director for field operations.
人口普查局外勤辦事處副主任Timothy Olson表示,儘管美國大部分地區的失業率較低,但人口普查局仍有望填補所有需要的崗位。

The Census Bureau is looking for people who speak non-English languages, and those who live in neighborhoods with large immigrant populations so that “our census takers look like the neighborhood we’re counting,” Behler said.
人口普查局正在尋找能說非英語的人,以及那些居住在移民人口眾多的社區的人。Behler說:「這樣一來,我們的人口普查人員代表著我們統計的社區。」

He said that people who work as census takers seem to love the job and making a difference in their communities.
他說,人口普查員似乎都很喜歡這份工作,並在社區中做出了貢獻。

“It’s crazy how this gets in your blood and you see the same people coming back decade after decade,” he said. “It’s an amazing experience.”
他說:「人們身上似乎流著這樣執著的血液,真是太神奇了,而且每經過十年,又看到同一波人們回來了。這是一次了不起的體驗。」
