RE: Skills shortage

Here in Central Mississippi (Jackson), we have a unique market.  We have
WorldCom, Skytel, Mobilecomm, and several other large AS/400 shops in the
area.  They are always hiring and keep the job market tight.

A couple of the state Junior Colleges teach on the AS/400.  Our company
started a co-op program with one of the Junior Colleges.  We typically hire
one student in the fall and one in the spring.  Keeps lots of new blood
coming into the company.
