-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
THE "U-S CENSUS BUREAU" IS STILL HIRING ALASKANS FOR THE
"20-20 CENSUS"--WHICH KICKS OFF IN JANUARY. SARANA
["SARAH-NAH"] SCHELL IS WITH "A-A-R-P
ALASKA"--ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE "ALASKA CENSUS
WORKING-GROUP"...
(SCHELL):
"THESE ARE WELL-PAYING JOBS: 28 DOLLARS, AN
HOUR--WITH FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES. THEY COULD EASILY BE A SECOND JOB--FOR STUDENTS, STAY-AT-HOME PARENTS, OR RETIREES.
AND, THE WORK IS SO IMPORTANT: THE RESULTS OF THE CENSUS DECIDE WHERE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDING WILL GO, OVER THE NEXT DECADE.
THIS MONEY IS FOR ROADS, SCHOOLS, HEALTHCARE, AND MORE; PLUS, FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECTS IN THOSE SECTORS ALSO MEAN JOBS.
MANY ALASKANS DON'T REALIZE THAT, IF WE DON'T GET COUNTED, WE DON'T GET OUR FAIR SHARE.
AND, ALASKA HAD THE LOWEST PARTICIPATION-RATE DURING THE '20-10 CENSUS'--AT JUST 64-PERCENT.
SO, BY WORKING FOR THE CENSUS, YOU CAN HELP BOTH YOUR BANK-ACCOUNT AND YOUR COMMUNITY."
