The 2010 Census is extremely important to South Carolina. It is very important that every person is counted for the following reasons:
- Apportion the seats in the House of Representatives
- Draw state legislative districts
- Distribute more than $300 billion annually in federal, state, and local funds
- Business owners use the census count to determine sites for new businesses
There will be many census jobs available in our area. Work schedules vary and many census takers have other full time or part time jobs. Retirees, military retirees, and students (over 18) are encouraged to apply.
