MADISON — The U.S. Census Bureau is looking to hire 47,000 people for temporary jobs in Wisconsin next year.

Most of the jobs, paying $11 to $15 an hour, involve going door-to-door to interview residents who don’t respond to a questionnaire to be mailed prior to Census Day on April 1, 2010.

The temporary employees will work in their own communities on evenings and weekends for about two to six weeks.

The 47,000 jobs in Wisconsin will be divided in eight regions.

You have to go to Milwaukee and take a two hour test and when you pass it they will contact you and tell you some crap that the FBI has you in there records so you dont get the job. I have never been arrested for anything and this is the crap they gave me.
