The Oak Ridge Public Library will host several job fairs between January and March as the U.S. Census Bureau looks to fill census taker positions in Anderson and Roane counties.

The job fairs will be held on Tuesdays from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. on the following dates:

  • January 21
  • February 11
  • February 25
  • March 3
  • March 10

Anyone over the age of 18 who is interested in temporary employment with the U.S. Census Bureau can attend these sessions to learn more about opportunities available in the area, a press release said. Topics covered will include compensation, scheduling, training, job expectations, and requirements.

In the press release, the City of Oak Ridge said it encourages residents looking for a temporary job or additional income to apply. Schedules are flexible and pay is competitive, ranging from $22 to $26 per hour depending on location.

“Working for the Census is a great way to support your community by helping ensure that each person is counted,” the press release said.

For more information about the job fairs, contact the Oak Ridge Public Library at (865) 425-3455. If you have questions about the 2020 Census or becoming a census taker, visit the online resource page at www.2020census.gov/jobs.
