Outsourcing Utah help line sparks contract rethink
The Utah welfare help line, previously routed to Wisconsin, may shift calls to North Carolina and Everetts after a renegotiated five year contract with eFunds. North Carolina workers would handle about 60 positions at roughly $30 000 a year with benefits, aiming for July filling.

Checks face decline but remain core payment option
The use of checks in the United States has fallen from a mid 1990s peak with 50 billion written in 1995 to 42.5 billion by 2000 and an expected 5 percent drop in 2004. Utilities credit card lenders and the IRS push online payments while debit card use rises to 495 million monthly transactions.

Offshore job loss cited in US government report
A Labor Department report shows 4 633 U S workers were displaced offshore in January to March, about 2 percent of total layoffs among 239 361 private sector nonfarm workers. The data cover only shops with 50-plus employees and 30 day unemployment. Offshoring remains a significant force though not overwhelming as the economy added 1.2 million jobs since May.
