That's a 60-percent jump over the number of people who used the Internet in their online job searches in March 2000. On an average day, more than 4 million people search out new opportunities on the Net, which is 33 percent higher than the daily job-search traffic two years ago. Online job searching is also a young-person's game. More than 60 percent of Net users between the ages of 18 and 29 have searched online for jobs, compared to 42 percent of people ages 30 to 49, and 27 percent of those ages 50 to 64. On a typical day, according to the study, twice as many men go online to hunt for jobs as women. Of the people with Internet access who look for job information online, the most active job seekers are those who log onto the Internet from work. Skilled laborers and office workers are the least likely to job hunt online. Fifty-five percent of people in media sales positions have looked for jobs online, compared to 44 percent of executives who search for jobs online and 49 percent of clerical and office workers.

Harassment suit leads to big tab for bar A popular Warrenville sports bar will pay a $17,000 settlement for repeatedly subjecting a dozen female employees to sexual harassment and for firing one after she complained. Jeffrey L. Barnes Sr., of Warrenville, will be banned for two years from his own bar, the Satisfied Frog, 29W012 Butterfield Road, as part of a consent decree agreed to April 24 by the Frog’s parent company, Diroddi Inc., and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC started investigating the Frog and filed suit in June 2006 after a female bartender complained that Barnes had repeatedly propositioned her for sex, made an unwanted advance and commented on her appearance. Barnes also groped female employees and made obscene gestures toward them, EEOC district Director John Rowe said at the time. “When a female bartender demanded a meeting to deal with the harassment, the owner said ‘Only in a hotel room, and only if you take your pants off,” Rowe said. After complaining to owners about the harassment, the bartender was fired in January 2004, according to the consent decree issued by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall. Barnes couldn’t be reached Monday for comment. Last year his lawyer called the charges “nonsense” and “baseless.” In state records, James W. Barnes is listed as president of Diroddi. A woman who answered the phone at his Yorkville home and identified herself as his wife said he had no comment. “We wanted to make the point this isn’t part of the job of working in a bar or restaurant,” said Jeanne Szromba, the EEOC trial attorney on the case. “It’s illegal, and the employer isn’t supposed to let it happen.” The judge mandated that the tavern keep track of all complaints of sexual harassment or retaliation and report them to a private monitoring firm agreed to by the government and company. Every bar employee also must go through harassment training. The EEOC suit was filed under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion or sex, including sexual harassment. It also protects employees who complain about violations of the act.
