<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Ed,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you mean the number of departments with
current vacancies?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I haven't kept a tally, but it seems this
year the number of vacancies has been more than double normal. Don't we
usually post somewhere around 6 to 10 a year? We don't really have a
way to track all of the vacancies. We can only go by the number which
alert the PTG of such. Perhaps the reason it seems more than normal are
open this year is that the employers have become more aware of our online
postings. Scott may have kept track of how many he has posted
and could give a more accurate answer to your question.</FONT></DIV>
