North Brooklyn coalition to host U.S. Census jobs fair

The North Brooklyn coalition of Neighbors Helping Neighbors, in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, is hosting a local jobs fair on Wednesday, January 15 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The fair will take place at St. Nick’s Workforce Development Center, 2nd floor, at 790 Broadway, near Woodhull Hospital.

Up to 120,000 Census workers will be hired in the state of New York for the count that happens later this year. New York City residents are expected to make up over 75 percent of that workforce.

Workforce One, another job recruiter, will also be present during the event. U.S. Census Bureau and St. Nicks’s workforce staff will be there to help applicants.

Residents age 18 and over are welcome to apply for positions paying $22.50 and up.
