Question

What is enumeration type work? I see a job ad in the paper but I am not sure what it is?

Answer 1

The details of the job are a bit vague so can only give you a broad answer.  Enumeration is counting.   So counting stuff and listing the results.  

The only place I have heard of that for a job is temporary/contracted government people who go door to door registering new voters and updating files on existing voters on the elections lists.  Federally they don't do that as much anymore, could be a provincial one.  Or something completely different.
