FRESNO, Calif.-(Business Wire)-May 6, 2008 - No one really wants to talk about the "r" word, but recession has been a recent focus with the state of today's economy. While many companies throughout the country have been forced to lay off employees to address the spiraling down economy, the staffing industry has become the light at the end of the tunnel for many of them searching for temporary employees to take care of unfilled responsibilities, according to Tammi Heaton, senior vice president for PrideStaff.
"With the cutting of jobs, hiring freezes, and a tentative wait and see approach to hiring we here at PrideStaff have seen for ourselves a steady increase in businesses needing our resources," Heaton said. "Business professionals are really taking more advantage of our services during this uncertain time in the economy, and its proving how much of a resource and a need the staffing industry is to those in the business sector."
The U.S. staffing industry is expected to grow faster and add more new jobs than any other industry over the next decade, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics printed in an article on the American Staffing Association's Web site. The Association says that the industry has been growing with speed because "workers want it, businesses need it, and it's good for the economy." Staffing firms offer its business clients flexibility and access to talent, and that in turn brings jobs, labor market flexibility, efficient bridging to permanent jobs and training to the economy, the Association says.
"Many may be surprised to know just how much of an impact the staffing industry has; we are really aiding businesses with what they need," Heaton said.
"The staffing industry has really taken the spotlight in this uncertain time.
