www.census.gc.caHere’s the latest I can share about census jobs:
- Canada: Statistics Canada is recruiting roughly 32,000 census-related positions across the country for the 2026 census, with openings for both supervisory and non-supervisory roles from March to July 2026. This is tied to the May 2026 census.
- United States: The Census Bureau is hiring about 1,500 temporary field staff for the 2026 Census Test at six sites, with most offers typically extended between January and April 2026. This is part of preparation for the 2030 census.
- General note: Multiple outlets confirm ongoing recruiting efforts for 2026 census-related fieldwork in various countries, including Canada and the U.S., with roles such as census takers, supervisors, and support staff.
If you’d like, I can narrow this to a specific country (e.g., Canada or the U.S.), or pull the exact application deadlines and location-based postings. I can also summarize typical eligibility and process steps for these census jobs. Would you like me to focus on Prague/Czech context or provide country-specific details?
