The Kirkland Highlands and the downtown core need residents to work on the 2010 Census. This is the Decennial census–to count every resident once every 10 years. Census employees will be hired to work in every neighborhood. Hopefully, Highlands and other Kirkland residents will apply, because neighbors are the best way to contact neighbors.
These temporary jobs pay $17.50 per hour. To apply, call 425-749-5110 and choose an Application and Testing Session. For information go to The U.S. Census Bureau’s job page. There you can see a practice test and application form. The recruiter for our area is Kirkland resident Gail Gorud. She can be reached at : gg2010@comcast.net.
