RANDOLPH COUNTY, W.Va (WDTV) -- Census staff held a job fair in Elkins today, recruiting employees for the 2020 Census.
Staff say they had a steady stream of people come through the doors today to apply to work for the census, but could always use more.
Dreama Pritt says the census could be kicking off soon.
"People in West Virginia will be receiving postcards probably next week. Information on how they can self-respond online. If you respond online or if you call or if you mail in a form, no one will come to your door," said Pritt.
Staff are looking for various jobs depending on the county. If you would like to attend a job fair, these are the next events planned, or you can visit 2020census.gov/jobs.
