Re: Pandemic and community

The Census Bureau is still planning on counting the people who don't fill out their census forms in April, and a lot of the people who were going to be doing this are in high-risk groups. If you are looking for a job, go to 2020census.gov/jobs and fill out an application. You work near where you live.
