2007 Temporary Jobs Guidebook by Staffing Industry Analysts

Staffing Industry Analysts has created the 2007 Temporary Jobs Guidebook which outlines “a fundamental shift in the make up of the U.S. workforce.”

"From our analysis, we predict that over the next 10 years, corporate America is likely to face a distinct challenge to find highly skilled workers to help them achieve their business objectives," said Barry Asin, Chief Analyst of Staffing Industry Analysts. "As a result, employers can expect rising prices for skilled temporary help and longer waits to find these workers. For temporary staffing firms, the demand for contingent workers will translate into a growth opportunity for the foreseeable future."

Here are some interesting facts on temp labor contained in the Guidebook:

The Guidebook can be orderded by contacting Staffing Industry Analysts' sales at 650-232-2350 or kmarechal@staffingindustry.com.
