I found 28-year-old Jack Kerouac in the 1950 census. He was living with his mom on the second floor of 9421 134th Street in Queens. His occupation is listed as "author" in the "books" industry.

That house is still there. Wonder if the current occupants realize that Jack Kerouac lived there!

The month before this census was taken, Kerouac’s first novel, The Town and the City, was published. He could legitimately claim to be an author in the books industry!
