The U.S. Census Bureau is offering a glimmer of hope to those looking for a job.
The agency will be testing applicants on Monday in Porterville to fill 500 positions which will be available in January and the Spring of 2010.
Some of the positions offered include; enumerator, crew leader, crew leader assistant, and clerk. The pay ranges from $11.75 per hour to $17.00 per hour. No experience is required.
Testing for the positions will take place at the Porterville Library, from 3-5 p.m. The test is said to be a multiple chose test, and is about 30 minutes long.
Officials say only 100 people can be tested at a time. However interested candidates can call 866-861-2010 to schedule an appointment to take the test.
Practice tests can be picked up at our local Visalia office at 3278 S. Mooney Blvd, as well as at many local libraries. The practice test can also be viewed online at www.2010censusjobs.gov Those headed to the testing in Porterville on Monday will need to take a form of i–d with you.
These are the only qualifications to become a census taker and gain access to someones home. Not my home. Because they are sporting a government I.D. I should let them in to gather information? Thats even more reason to keep them out. My security and employment standards are higher than that of the US government. Example: Turbo Tax Tim Geithner

We should take these positions over. Altho they will probably be like that SpellingBee Winner — ‘I got 20 points for being black, another 13 for being a minority....’
Judging from the qualifications, there won’t be very many White Europeans hired for the job.
1. Are you currently a member of ACORN?
A) No.
B) Yes.
C) Willing to join.
If you answered B) or C), go to question 2.
