Some jobs started in 2009. Some are going on now.
I am working in one of the temporary Census offices and (as of early Aprill of 2010) we are still scheduling people to attend testing/application sessions. At one time we thought there would already be enough qualified applicants by now, so we expected the testing to be over by now. In our local district, it has not panned out that way, so most of the workers (Census Enumerators) have not yet been hired. In other districts they may be much farther along than we are.
If you want to know the situation in your area, call 866-861-2010 (during regular business hours), listen to the recording, punch in your ZIP code, and talk to your local office.

Difference between a Census and a Survey?
A census is a statistical enumeration and analysis of a certain population, be it humans, animals or plants - groups that grow and change over time.

Every ten years, the federal government is Constitutionally required to conduct a census of the population. Specifically, this activity is performed by the U.S. Census Bureau, part of the Department of Commerce. In addition to recording the number of individuals in the country, the census also collects numerous amounts of other information, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, housing status, income, etc. These data provide the denominators for population statistics.

The US Census counts the population for each state, which is the basis for Congressional representation in the House of Representatives. Changes in the number of residents for a state could increase or decrease its number of Representatives.
What information is legally required for the US Census?
"The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."
What this specifically states is that an Enumeration (or a 'head-count' of the people as defined by the sentence preceding the above quoted sentence, and Amendment XIV, Section 2, of the Constitution) will be performed every ten years.
The final nine words (between the last comma and the period) are what this page was created to answer.
"...in such a Manner as they shall by Law direct."
The word 'Manner' means how the 'head-count' shall be performed.
The word 'they' refers to Congress, as mentioned in the first part of this Clause.
The word 'Law' is synonymous with Legislation.
Therefore, this Clause may be interpreted as follows:
Congress must count all persons in the United States every ten years in accordance with the Laws that have been enacted by Congress.
The Constitution does NOT limit the information that Congress may request in obtaining their Enumeration, except when that information might violate existing Amendments (i.e.: the IV Amendment (Illegal searches), or the V Amendment (Self incrimination)).
A census is potentially allowed to ask (as defined by Congress) race, age, gender and residency.
- Race shows what the ethnicity population or certain backgrounds is is areas.
- Age shows the age groups. It says the age range for the majority of the people.
- Gender shows sex. It shows the contrast between men and women.
- Residency shows how many people live in your house. If one person answered the questionnaire and there are 7 people living in the house and they weren't accounted for, that statistic wouldn't be accurate.
The 2010 US Census form contains 10 questions that should be filled out and mailed back to the government as soon as possible.
To find out what specific questions the Census is legally allowed to ask, and what questions you are legally obligated to answer, you would have to study Title 13 of the United States Code: This is the Instrument of Law that Congress has enacted, as the above sentence of the Constitution authorizes Congress to do, on how to carry out the Census, what questions may be asked, and the penalties may be levied against a person who fails to, or falsely, answers the questions in the Census.
