Every 10 years the U.S. Census Bureau conducts a count of the total number of people in the United States.
This count is used to disperse $675 billion per year in financial aid to states, counties, townships and municipalities just like yours.
To ensure that the correct amount of funds reaches every community, it's imperative that the 2020 Census conducts as accurate of a count as possible.
We need help from champions like you. For more information about the upcoming 2020 Census, stop by the McDonald County Library from 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24. You can apply on the spot for a job with the Census or go online to Census.gov/jobs. Be counted and make a difference for McDonald County.
