More than 50,000 housing units in the Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier, Washington and Wayne counties will have to be located and individually mapped in week period. A small field office a was opened in Cedar City August 1 to manage the staff. The 2000 Census is a national count, but we need to hire local people who know their area to list the housing units for the most accurate count possible, said Gloria Coates, the field operation supervisor for the Cedar City office. Coates is working with the local Department of Workforce Services to help recruit, test and hire employees. The temporary jobs pay $8.25 an hour plus mileage reimbursement and paid training. Anyone interested in the positions should contact their local Department of Workforce Services office first or e call the Census Bureaus job line at (888) Local communities depend on census figures to plan public facilities such as schools and libraries, to draw political boundaries and as the basis of distributing funds in the community.
