Hoppy Holidays!The Holidays are a great time for temporary and contract work. On the one hand, many industries, like retail and delivery services, have the need for seasonal help. For many temporary workers this can be a great opportunity to try out a new company, earn a little extra money, or add a new skill set to their resume. On the other hand, temporary workers often have more flexible schedules–which can mean more time to travel home for the holidays. However you look at it, it's a great time to enjoy the benefits of our industry. As for me I'm headed back to Costa Rica for some much needed R&R. I can't wait to be surrounded by the lush green of the forest canopy, and the bright green faces of my family. So from my family to yours, Hoppy Holidays! posted by TonyPogo at 12/18/2007 | 0 comments |

an average 3.05 million people daily can’t be wrongHow much is three million? It's the number of iPhones Apple made ready for sale at launch. Or the number of the final Harry Potter volumes sold in the UK the weekend it was released. And it's about the same as the population of Chicago, actually. But most importantly -– it's the average number of jobs that are filled by temporary and contract workers daily. With an average of 3.05 million jobs per day in the third quarter, the industry broke the three million mark for only the third time on record, according to data released today by the American Staffing Association. That figure represents an increase of over 2.3% over the same period last year. The third-quarter rate of job growth was the highest in five quarters—staffing employment had been flat to down slightly in the previous four quarters. posted by TonyPogo at 12/11/2007 | 0 comments |
