Linda Clark began census work in the 1970s as a Special Census Supervisor for California’s Population Research Unit in the Department of Finance. In 1980 and 1990, she served as a Regional Technician in the Los Angeles region of the U.S. Census Bureau, monitoring field operations in Southern California offices. In 2000 she became an Area Manager for the Seattle region, supervising field operations for the seven census offices in San Francisco, Alameda, and San Mateo counties.
