Monday, an order for a dishwasher's Job was filled ln 30 minutes. "It Is very hard to even get the Job orders now," Cedergren said. "Years ago we might have 50-75 low-paying Job orders. Today, we are lucky If we get one." When 600 service Jobs at the new Cincinnati Plaza hotel went up for grabs early this month, 1200 people applied ln one day.
