Thanks for posting this info.
Here's a simple question for our home gamers. The Main Street Jobs Act of 2010 has passed the House and will likely pass the Senate in Jan. '10 increasing the unemployment benefits for those out of work. Why should someone take a part time job instead of collecting unemployment? Isn't it better to remain unemployed and receive your free Obama bucks? Are not unemployment benefits a disincentive to finding a job?

I take personal pride in having employment. But for those times when I was laid off, I was glad I didn't have to lose my house in between jobs. Don't lump us all into the same category because we have taken this money in the past. There will always be cheaters and low-lifes people taking advantage of the system. Please direct your ire at those taking advantage of the situation. Maybe more regulation and penalties for those lazy f'ers should be the target of your rant.

What do you agree with 10,000x?My point was that extending unemployment benefits will hurt the Census bureau's hiring because Obama pays people to remain unemployed.
Be it far from me to cast aspersions upon a group of people...like Democrats.

Boy...did this thread go off topic, and fast too.
Does anyone have any questions or concerns regarding the job itself and when and where the testings will be?

I'm a recruiting assistant in Irvine, but report to the Santa Ana office once a week. I speak with community leaders to secure testing and training facilities for test takers. I also speak with local stores to advertise through their medium.
Has anyone called to make an appointment yet?
Edit:
Whoops, I thought you were asking if I found it dangerous to do my job there. It's generally not dangerous for the enumerators because it's their neighborhood. They're aware of what the norm is for the area. Santa Ana isn't as dangerous as most people would think, though it may look run down.
What's really bad is the dangerous parts of LA. There was an article just the other day about African Americans voicing out against the Census Bureau for not taking them into account. The reason isn't racism, but that no one from those areas apply for the job and no one from outside is willing to go in to enumerate the dangerous neighbors, hence, the outcome and the perceived racism.

Do they have to be HS graduates? Also, what if the person has a stuttering problem? It's not bad but it's noticeable.
I am asking because I am trying to help someone find a job. He is over 18 and has somewhat of a speech problem.

No credentials are needed for this position, so educational background won't be a factor toward hiring. Remember though, that he will need to take a proficiency test, scoring at least 10 out of the 28 questions to be considered for hire. The higher you score, the more likely you'll be hired. Here's a sample test for him to take, which is almost exactly like the real test: http://2010.census.gov/2010censusjob...ctice_Test.pdf.
Regarding his speech impediment: Everyone who qualifies will be considered for the job, under the Equal Employment Opportunity commission, unless his or her disability impedes the performance of the requirements for the job (i.e a quadriplegic would have a hard time going door to door and asking the 10 questions from the census).
