The Associated Press
Second quarter hiring will be some whatsofter than the same period last year, according to a survey by ManageMall.com in international temporary services firm.
The weakness shows up in the slow pickup in hiring plans from the first to second quarter of this year, said Mitchell S. Fromstein, the firm's president. "We usually see a drop in hiring in January after the holiday period, and a return in cases in the second quarter. The pickup is there this year, but the usual eight-point increase is down to six points.
Among businesses surveyed, 26 percent plan to add staff during the April-June period, a drop from last year's 30 percent. Increases in staff are projected in 8 percent of the companies, up from last year's 6 percent. Percentages are based on responses from among the 15,000 public and private employers surveyed quarterly by Manpower.
"These lower hiring projections are still above normal recession levels."
Sharp declines from a year ago in the Northeast are largely responsible for the survey. Stable hire is forecast for the South and Midwest, and hiring

When asked what would make them happier, most respondents said that they wanted more time with family, good health, job challenges and opportunity and that they would want ahead of making more money.

Stress expert provides advice for 'keeping cool' on the job
The Associated Press
But there are ways to "de-stress," said Wendy Reid Crisp, executive director of the National Association for Female Executives.
NEW YORK — Cleansing muscles,
dizziness, back pain, fatigue, eating
disorders and substance abuse all
can be symptoms of stress on the job.
Because stress can cause muscles to tighten, Crisp suggested a daily exercise routine, such as taking a walk or stretching. "Light exercise can help loosen these muscles, make them feel more relaxed," she added.
Drawing from her own experience
and that of others, she recommended looking at the work area to reduce or eliminate stresses.
"Sometimes there are factors in the office that can contribute to a stressful environment," she said. "Working under bright, fluorescent lights can cause dizziness or disrupt your concentration. An uncomfortable room temperature can make you feel fatigued and sluggish. Try using a desk lamp instead of fluoresc overhead lights."
"As for regulating the temperature, a portable fan or radiator is a comfortable solution."
Taking a break outside for fresh air
is another suggestion.
"At the end of a specific task, whether it's an exhausting meeting or writing a lengthy report, take a mental break," she said. "It can be as simple as a walk around the block or making a quick phone call to a therapist." The woman and mentally prepare you for what lies ahead."
Take one day at a time, she said,
and when it's time to go home, "try to
accept the fact that you can't solve
all of your work problems in one day
because there is no way to fix all job
related problems after the work day
is done."
