NCW - What matters to you? Schools? Transportation? Hospitals? Business Support? Data from the census help inform planning efforts for all these important community resources. It also means that communities across the nation receive the funding, services, and support they deserve and need—which is especially important today.
 
We encourage you to post messages, videos and a link to the official 2020 Census website on your company website and social media accounts, in your employee communications, customer statements, newsletters, bulletins, circulars and emails.
 
Paper questionnaires can only be mailed to physical addresses and we have been delayed from hanging questionnaires on doors due to social distancing, so there is a great risk that many people will not be counted. For every 100 households missed, the state stands to lose up to $5.8 million, which would affect its ability to adequately support children, veterans, senior citizens and low-income families.
 
Please help spread the word. You can respond online, with or without a Census ID, using your computer, phone, or tablet, at my2020census.gov or by phone at 1-844-330-2020. Your responses are secure and confidential.
 
The 2020 Census is still accepting job applications for temporary, part-time positions. Apply online today at 2020census.gov/jobs. We offer great pay, flexible hours, and paid training. Jobs will likely begin in May or June and extend into the fall.
