American Staffing 2007
Annual Economic Analysis
May 2007
America's staffing companies employed an average of 2.96 million temporary and contract workers per day in 2006—more than in any other year—according to the American Staffing Association quarterly employment and sales survey.
And the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the U.S. staffing industry will grow faster and add more new jobs than just about any other industry over the next decade.
The industry has been growing faster than the economy because of flexibility: Workers want it, businesses need it, and it's good for the economy.
Jobs, flexibility, bridge to permanent employment, choice of alternative employment arrangements, and training—these are the benefits staffing firms offer to today's workers. Flexibility and access to talent—these are the benefits staffing firms bring to business clients. And jobs, labor market flexibility, efficient bridging to permanent jobs, and training—these are the benefits staffing firms bring to the economy.
