of over 4,001 people. Doctors who received their diplomas within the'past
3 years get 100 forints less.
Labor recruiters in the construction, iron, and coal industries receive a
basic wa.'e of 750-850 forints, which includes payment for overtime. Workers
employed as labor recruiters for periods not exceeding one month, or'for occa-

between recruiting campaigns. In addition to traveling and subsist ace allow-
