How much does working for the US Census Bureau pay?

Normally the US Census Bureau hires enumerators (census takers) that are out surveying people, crew leaders, and clerical staff.

I know that for a Special Census conducted in 2008 Enumerators were paid $14.00 per hour, crew leaders $15.50 per hour, and clerical staff $10.50 per hour. Mileage and paid training were also included.

Pay depends on region and median income. For example, in Charlotte, NC enumerators are paid 18.50 an hour. On Long Island, NY, they are paid 24.50. Mileage for any field position is always added to that, currently .50 per mile. Check with you local Census office for the correct pay scale
