NEWSPAPERS
Free Ads for The Asking
</hdr><body>
<p> Need a job? With 9.2 million Americans, or 7.3% of the work
force, now unemployed, the answer to that question is
increasingly yes. So the Boston Globe, the largest newspaper in
slump-ridden New England, has decided to do more than simply
report the bad news. Beginning next week, the Globe will run
free situation-wanted ads submitted during a limited period by
people looking for work. Job seekers ranging from accountants
to plumbers have flooded the paper with 500 submissions a day
ever since it launched the campaign on March 1.
</p>
<p> The Globe said it will run the ads in its daily editions
until all have appeared. The freebies will be one way to take
up the slack caused by a nationwide dearth of help-wanted ads.
According to the Conference Board, the volume of such ads
plunged in January to the lowest level since 1983. Brother, can
you spare a line?
