3811.0. "From the WSJ...." by ANGLIN::BJAMES (I feel the need, the need for SPEED) Tue Apr 18 1995 16:18

    From Today's Wall Street Journal, p.1, col. 5 under Work Week:
    
    			Hiring freezes thaw as companies
    			acknowledge understaffing problems.
    
    	Only 22% of 476 human-resources executives say they still have a
    hiring freeze, down from 30% in 1991, says a new survey by Olsten
    Corp., Melville, N.Y.  One reason: More executives cite understaffing
    problems and increased stress levels on current employees, missed
    deadlines and decreased customer service.
    
    	Companies cite budget constraints and lack of candidates with
    needed skills as the main reasons for understaffing.  Shortages  are
    acute for technical workers in computer businesses and health services
    and for skilled production workers.
