Shirley, Arvil & I are on a budget now also. He wasn't able to go back to work after his surgery in June. So, since he was already 62, he signed up on his SS. I have worked for the last 3 census. I'm thinking about doing it again. It doesn't matter where the census headquarters are. They need enumerators to list each house & address, so they have to have workers in your area, also. You can work within your county. They pay an hourly rate, plus you get so much for the miles you drive on your car. Bobbie
