Additionally, the U.S. Census Bureau has an interactive map that reflects 2020 Census recruiting goals by county in all states. If you select Wisconsin, and hover your mouse over a particular county, you will see a box pop up that provides that county’s percent goal achieved and the current rate for census taker jobs in that county.
Joanna would like to extend her appreciation for your willingness to let your members know about the 2020 Census jobs.
Thank you,
