POT HOLDS NO. 1 SPOT
Marijuana use is the most prevalent reason for an employee failing
pre-employment and random drug and alcohol tests, according to a recent
survey of personnel company owners.
Eighty-two percent of the Express Personal Services franchise owners
reported marijuana smokers are their No. 1 disqualification problem followed
by alcohol (10 percent), amphetamines (6 percent) and cocaine (1 percent).
"At a time when employers are desperate to find qualified workers, marijuana
users are watching their job chances go up in smoke," said Linda Haneborg, a
vice president at Express Personnel Services in Oklahoma City.
