Data from 24 counseling supervisors in the New York State Employment Service were obtained as part of an on‐going training program. Small groups through spontaneous discussion presented problems that they wanted to solve. The data were classified and tabulated according to common content. The findings show that these supervisors were bothered primarily by organizational and interpersonal difficulties. Although also concerned with “job‐task” problems, these represented a smaller proportion of their time involvement. Implications for management and training were discussed.
