Where the New Jobs Are


THE NEWBORN ENTREPRENEUR:
George Kriegshauser, 48, of St. Louis, Mo., found himself unemployed last spring for the first time in his life. With two kids in college, his wife's schoolteacher salary wasn't enough. "I worried constantly," he says. The solution for Kriegshauser: apply his skills in another service industry—home cleaning. With an investment of $200,000 (he sold his house for the seed money), he bought a franchise of the Maids Home Service. The business is still new, but so far, so good.
