Applicants must be 18 years old at the time of the 2020 Census, be a US Citizen, have reliable transportation, and male applicants must have registered for Selective Service. Applicants should bring their personal mobile phones to access their emails and confirm their identity for the application process.

Applicant Days will be on four Wednesdays: January 15, January 29 and February 12, and February 26, 2020. Hours are Noon to 2pm in the Solon Public Library, 321 West Main Street, Solon Iowa. Applicants can also apply on line at 2020census.gov/jobs
