5,000 Census jobs in Ohio

COLUMBUS (AP) — The U.S. Census Bureau has 5,000 jobs to fill in Ohio as it prepares for the 2010 count.

The agency has opened offices in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo and Canton and is ready to start staffing them. The temporary positions pay anywhere from $8.25 to $19.00 an hour, and Census spokeswoman Katherine Shiflet says the jobs are a mix of full- and part-time and should last through September 2010.

There are openings for actual census takers as well as for those who will train and recruit them and for regional support staff.

Shiflet says job seekers may apply online at census.gov.
