I was a census worker in 1980 - actually, I was the supervisor for about two dozen enumerators so my name won't appear on any census forms - and I thoroughly enjoyed the work. You learn a lot about your community or neighborhood, and you deal with interesting people of all ages and backgrounds. The folks that worked under me understood the temporary nature of the work, but also realized how important complete coverage was. I'm recommending my college fraternity guys to apply, and, with the economy doing so well, the census folks are going to have trouble finding 800,000 workers. So, consider it!
