Wellington Webb sponsoring Denver job fair for census workers

Wellington Webb has a job for you, and it involves counting Coloradans.

The former Denver mayor and Democratic icon is sponsoring a job fair through his consulting firm, The Webb Group, for potential census-takers, from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Blair-Caldwell Library in Denver.

He will be joined by his wife, former state Rep. Wilma Webb, for an event they’re calling Together We Count.

The job fair will feature information on what jobs are currently available and the requirements and duties of each job. According to the 2020 Census Jobs page, a census-taker in Denver County, for example, will earn $20.50 an hour, as well as reimbursement for mileage and work-related expenses. The jobs are temporary and will last for several weeks next year.

Information also is available on the Census Bureau’s Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages.

Applicants may also call 1-855-JOB-2020 or the Federal Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339.

The Blair-Caldwell Library is at 2401 Welton St. in the Five Points neighborhood.
