The 2020 Census is a count of every person living in the United
States on April 1, 2020, the official Census Day. It asks a few
simple questions, including age and number of people living in the
home. It not only counts people but also where they are living on
Census Day.

2020年人口普查是对2020年4月1日（官方人口普查日）居住在美国的每个人进行统计。它提出了一些简单的问题，包括年龄和住宅中居住人数。它不仅统计人口，而且统计人们在人口普查日所在的居住地点。

The Census Bureau is set to launch its nationwide address
canvassing operation in August to update maps and address lists
across the country.

人口普查局定于8月份启动全国地址调查活动，以更新全国的地图和地址列表。

About 50,000 temporary census workers will check more than 50
million addresses throughout the nation over a six-week period to
see if any new residences (or addresses) were added. The Census
Bureau wants to make sure that every address in the nation receives
an invitation in March 2020 to respond to the census.

大约50万名临时人口普查员将在六周内检查全国超过五千万个地址，以查看是否增加了新的住所（或地址）。人口普查局希望确保全国所有地址在2020年3月都收到邀请以恢复人口普查。

In early 2020, the Census Bureau will begin hiring census takers
to visit individual homes to help residents complete their forms if
they haven’t already responded online, by phone or through a paper
questionnaire.

2020年初，人口普查局将开始雇用人口普查员访问各个住宅，以帮助尚未通过在线、电话或纸质问卷回复的居民填写表格。

These door-to-door jobs are usually done in the evenings and on
weekends. Positions also will be available at regional and local
offices during more traditional daytime hours.

这些上门工作通常在晚上和周末进行。一般在白天时段，地区和当地办事处也将提供职位。

Until now, hiring was all done via paper applications and
in-person testing sessions. Now, it’s online. If selected, people
will provide fingerprints and undergo a background check before
they can begin working.

在以前，招聘工作都是通过书面申请和现场测试完成的。现在，它也可以通过在线申请了！如果被选中，受聘者将提供指纹并接受背景调查，然后才能开始工作。

Speak a Second Language? The Census Bureau Wants
You

Despite low unemployment rates in much of the nation, the Census
Bureau expects to fill all available jobs, said Timothy Olson, the
Census Bureau’s associate director for field operations.

人口普查局外勤办事处副主任Timothy
Olson表示，尽管美国大部分地区的失业率较低，但人口普查局仍有望填补所有需要的岗位。

languages, and those who live in neighborhoods with large immigrant
populations so that “our census takers look like the neighborhood
we’re counting,” Behler said.

人口普查局正在寻找说非英语的人，以及那些居住在移民人口众多的社区的人。“这样一来，我们的人口普查人员代表着我们统计的社区，”
Behler说。

He said that people who work as census takers seem to love the
job and making a difference in their communities.

他说，人口普查员似乎都很喜欢这份工作，并在社区中做出了贡献。

people coming back decade after decade,” he said. “It’s an amazing
experience.”

他说：“这种体会深入您的内心，这真是太神奇了，一个个十年过去了，您又看到同一波人们回来了。这是一次了不起的体验。”
