EXECUTIVE OVERTIME
More employees are working longer and harder, including managers, a new survey finds.
Robert Half International Inc., a staffing service that specializes in accounting, financing and information technology, says more managers said there just isn't enough time in the work day to get everything done.
A recent survey of 150 managers and executives found that more than a third said their time on the job has gone up from five years ago. The average time spent working during the week is now 54 hours, according to the people polled.
Because of that, warned Max Messmer, the chairman at Robert Half, executives need to step back and reassess their needs and the demands of their jobs, lest they burn out.
Today in regional history:

Many prominent figures in health and religious circles will participate Wednesday in the dedication of Augusta's new Catholic hospital, the long and eagerly awaited St. Joseph's.
The dedication is set for 3 p.m., after which those in attendance will be invited on an inspection of the $2 million institution, hailed by many as the most modern and complete hospital in the Southeast.
