STATE OF THE TEMPORARY STAFFING
INDUSTRY
Revenue growth and earnings are strong in the global temporary staffing
industry. Continued growth is assured across all geographies as contingent labor
becomes a substantial and permanent part of the workforce in virtually all of
the major economies and the cyclicality of the industry declines.
The largest staffing firms are spread around the world and engaged in a high
number of acquisitions geared to open new markets and provide broader
occupational reach. With the strongest growth now occurring in professional and
technology positions, firms that once focused on low-skill labor are rapidly
adding high-skill positions. The best firms are offering a wider range of
services to meet employer needs with greater flexibility.
The five largest staffing firms in the U.S. market are Adecco, Allegis,
Manpower, Kelly and Robert Half, according to Staffing Industry Analysts Inc.
The top 10 staffing firms in the U.S. market represent almost one-fourth of
total U.S. market share.
