This could be a good second job. According to the press release, NORC’s flexible hours work well for students, retirees, teachers, and others.

NORC interviewers talk to people all over the United States from every conceivable walk of life to obtain information on issues such as health care, employment, education, and many others. In Wichita, NORC conducts vital work for a diverse array of research studies and clients, including The Associated Press as part of The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The AP-NORC Center conducts research on such topical issues as partisanship and the media, Americans’ views on power and influence in Washington, and long-term care for the elderly. Wichita interviewers are also currently working on the National Immunization Survey, gathering information that will be used to estimate national immunization rates among young children.

To be an interviewer, English proficiency is required. Written and verbal Spanish proficiency is a plus.

NORC says it offers a collegial and professional work environment, flexible hours, and competitive pay with opportunities for advancement. In Wichita, the starting rates for interviewers are:
