Who Staffing Employees Really Are
 |
"They’re temporary workers. They’re contractors. They’re Millennials. They’re retirees. They’re teachers. They’re nurses. They drive forklifts. They practice law." |
The nation’s staffing employees—the more than three million individuals employed by U.S. staffing companies each week—are as diverse as the industry itself. Not only that, but 40% of staffing employees work in higher-skilled occupations in professional/managerial, engineering, IT, and scientific sectors.
Explaining the ‘Why’ Behind Choosing a Staffing Company
Within the staffing industry, more temporary and contract employees on assignment in the industrial sector work full time (80%) than those in other sectors. What attracts people to work in the industry? Staffing employees have many motivations for selecting temporary and contract work. Six out of 10 (61%) choose staffing to fill the gap between jobs or as a way to help them gain access to and land a permanent job. These driving factors are strongest among those working in the industrial (73%) and office–administrative (71%) sectors. One in five survey respondents (20%) say flexibility with their work hours or schedule is a reason they chose temporary/contract employment, with nearly twice as many in the health care sector (38%) citing this motivation.1
