Staffing Company Employment Up in 2004
The American Staffing Association noted in their annual survey that during 2004 staffing companies hired an estimated 11.7 million temporary and contract employees, an increase of 1 million over 2003. This puts hiring levels for these firms as high as they were in the boom period of 2000. Although they claim this is a good indicator of the health of the economy, how come it doesn't feel as robust as it did in 2000?
