So how would I check the values ArrayList for having seen the user
before?
Would that look like this:

for ( int i = 0; i < values.size(); i++) {
    if ( ((JobHistory)values[i]).name.compareTo(username) == 0 )
      // seen before, set jobcount for month
      setJobCount(i, n, jobcount);
    } else {
      // new entry
      addNewUser(username, n, jobcount);
    }
}

No this is't a homework assigmnet.
I'm not a programmer, just a unix admin trying to learn java.

Thanks

Alan
