   About 240 people have used the services of DBM, an international career-counseling and outplacement company hired by Reynolds Holdings to work with former employees who were laid off, said Charley Donohoe, a managing consultant with DBM in Winston-Salem.
   
   "A lot of the folks who came out involuntarily got involved in our career center from the get-go," Donohoe said. "We've already had a number of people who've gotten jobs."
   
   Donohoe said that the last time he checked, 25 people had found work, although the company doesn't track the figure every week.
   
   Donohoe also said that there is a group of people who are looking into starting their own businesses.

   Q. Many of our employees come to me and, in investigating our tuition reimbursement policy, ask what is the best discipline to pursue in getting a Masters degree. I obviously want to advise them on the type of degree best in alignment with our needs but I also want to be a career resource for them and provide them with information on growth areas for people with Master's Degrees. What do you see from your perspective?
   
   A. According to the "Occupational Outlook Handbook" published by the U. S. Labor Department, the fastest growing occupations for those holding this degree are: Operations Research Analysts, Business Analysts, Counselors, Urban and Regional Planners and Speech/Language Pathologists and Audiologists.

   The Triad may continue to experience more layoffs and slower job creation in 2003 than both the nation and North Carolina, said Charlie Donohue, the managing consultant of DBM's Winston-Salem office.
   
   "It's been a very difficult job picture for a couple of years now, especially considering the manufacturing recession the Triad has been mired in," Donohue said. "I imagine companies will continue to have the ability to cherry-pick among job applicants."
   
   The Triad's unemployment rate rose 0.2 percentage points to 5.8 percent in November, the N.C. Employment Security Commission reported. Local economists expect that the rate may exceed 6.5 percent before it begins to lower in the second half of the year.
   
   "We've been thinking that we might see a break in the layoffs in the first quarter, but that doesn't appear to be the case given what's already happened this month," Donohue said.
   
   Since Jan. 8, nearly 600 jobs have been eliminated in the Triad by Kmart Corp., Levolor-Kirsch Window Fashions, Oakwood Homes Corp., and Sears, Roebuck and Co.
   
   Donohue said that there have been recent productivity gains among Triad businesses. Those gains, however, may be coming as much from employees working harder to save their jobs as from technology or equipment improvements.
   
   Officials with temporary-staffing agencies in Winston-Salem, typically one of the first groups to see signs of an improving economy, said that hiring demands have been slowly building.
