New Journeyman sAn acute shortage of skilled office workers is evident in most areas of the country - despite reports of a nearing recession - according to Manpower, Inc., the world's largest temporary help firm. "Several factors are con­ tributing to this demand," Mitchel S. Fromstein, president of Manpower, Inc., said. "Not the least of these is the long standing shortage of skilled office workers, which, at this time each year, is magnified by the departure from the work force of college students and teachers retur­ ning to classrooms." "> Another factor contributing to the acute seasonal shortage is the reluctance of mothers to return to work before their children return to school. "Women, wanting to re-enter the work force will firfd their best employment opportunities at this time of the year," Fromstein said. Manpower offices throughout the country, one of which is located in McHenry, presently experience a strong demand for skilled office workers, par­ ticularly for those individuals typing, secretarial, stenography. with keypunch and word processing skills.. The experience of recent years indicates that female, white collar jobs withstand a recession better than the traditionally male, production jobs. According to a 1977 OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Paris) report upon the effects of the 1974-75 recession, women fared better than men in keeping their jobs and avoiding even temporary layoffs. During the last recession, women's employment in the United ' 1"-. . States actually increased, in large part a result of the in­ tensive employment of women in the services sector, removed from production slowdowns. "For the mother and wife looking for employment, statistics indicate they will fare best in services jobs, where 82 percent of all married women already work," Fromstein said. < Reasons why married women - who account for 57 percent of all working women - take jobs are generally whe same as those for men.

The Bell system, deciding that 40,000 customers can't be wrong, now is calling its "800 Service" what the customers call it. Until recently, Bell called the service "Inward WATS (Wide Area Telecommunications Service)," while the customers referred to "the 800 number." "Many more users recognize the term '800 Service' than 'Inward WATS'," Robert L. Schewe, Illinois Bell product manager for WATS, said. "So we've made it easier for customers and adopted the service's popular name as its official name." By either name, the service makes it convenient for customers to dial directly toll free, Schewe said, adding: "The service is well suited for businesses that normally receive a large number of in­ coming calls, such as orders, inquiries or complaints."
