MILWAUKEE (AP) - A spokeswoman for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee says 37 of the approximately 150 people who work directly for the archdiocese will have their jobs eliminated early next month.

The move was first reported by The Business Journal of Milwaukee.

Diocese spokeswoman Kathleen Hohl says 15 other jobs are being created as part of a streamlining of operations. She says the diocese is hoping to close a $3 million budget gap for this fiscal year and balance the books for the one beginning in July.

Hohl says the shortfall stems in part from costs associated with the priest sexual abuse crisis but includes such things as rising health care costs.
