Unemployment benefits are 99 weeks for some states, less for others. Regardless, after 26 weeks, the check sizes are half.
There are rumors that taking a census job will hurt your unemployment benefits. Fact: if you work part time, they will post pone your checks by that amount, but you still get the money later and stay in the system if you need it.
There were just as many census workers hired in 2000 as for 2010. I checked. The only people who will work just 4 days are those were a lot of applicants are in an area where most people mailed it in. Most will work 2 months.
The reason people are not working yet is they are waiting for people to mail theirs in still. After that, it is a mad rush.
If you are hired full time, that might terminate your unemployment. Check on it. But if part time, it will not. Regardless, in some areas the census pay is very high, and may be worth more than some people's unemployment if they are near the end or about to take a cut.
I guess in some areas, accepting this temporary job could hurt some unemployed people. But it is far from bad for most, as you may be lead to believe by Rush Limbaugh.
