Census call center brings 1,200 new jobs to Sandy

(Sandy Journal) Sandy City will play a major role in the 23rd Decennial Census which will be conducted in 2010. Vangent, Inc. has plans to occupy the old Discover Card building at 8475 South Sandy Parkway starting in October and will begin hiring 1,200 part-time and full-time employees in January to assist citizens as they complete the mandatory census.

Vangent chose the Discover Card building after a nationwide search because it only required minimal updating to house the call center and was move in ready. Of the three call center for the census, the Sandy location will employ more people than the call centers in Phoenix, Arizona and Lawrence, Kansas, who will employ about 250 people each.
