| Abstract: | A survey of 350 U.S. steel companies found the use of three approaches to skill shortages: contingent action (recruiting nontraditional or nonlocal workers, incentives for referrals); passive action (recruiting through job fairs, private industry councils, government agencies); or active action (retraining, restructuring jobs, raising entry-level salaries). Only a minority use the active approach. (SK) |
