Temp Agency Is Now America’s Second Largest Employer

A temporary work provider is now the second largest employer in all of America, behind Wal Mart.

A jobs report that was released on Friday shows that 28 million Americans now have part time jobs — this is an all-time high. Also included in the jobs report is the fact that a record number of people (2.8 million to be exact) now have temporary jobs.

And that number only continues to grow.

For just the month of June, there was a 6.7 percent growth in the number of staffing jobs than last year (the people who seek out and provide the temporary work).

Almost one-fifth of the jobs gained since the recession ended have been temporary. Of course, you won’t hear Obama and the other Democrats bragging about this statistic when they talk about how things are “getting better.”

Amazingly, one in ten American workers were employed by a staffing firm at some point during the last 12 months.

Part time and temporary jobs reached a high last month, but full time jobs decreased nation-wide by 240,000. And perhaps the worst part is the fact that most politicians refuse to acknowledge he problem right in front of them. They use the temp job numbers to inflate the employment rate throughout the country, making the problem seem insignificant.

Do you know people who have temp jobs? As a recent college grad, I can tell you firsthand: many recent grads are forced to take such jobs because there is nothing else available. Let us know your thoughts and experiences below.

The Ongoing Obama Depression: America’s Second-Largest Employer Is A Temp Agency…

Behind Wal-Mart, the second-largest employer in America is Kelly Services, a temporary work provider.

Friday's disappointing jobs report showed that part-time jobs are at an all-time high, with 28 million Americans now working part-time. The report also showed another disturbing fact: There are now a record number of Americans with temporary jobs.

Approximately 2.7 million, in fact. And the trend has been growing.

In the first quarter of 2013, U.S. staffing companies employed an average of 2.86 million temporary and contract workers, or 2 percent of all non-farm employment in the United States, according to the American Staffing Association. This represents a 2.9 percent growth from the same period in 2012. For just the month of June, there was a 6.7 percent growth in the number of staffing jobs than last year.

Temp jobs made up about 10 percent of the jobs lost during the Great Recession, and because of high turnover (the average length of temp employment is 3 months before a worker moves on to a permanent job), one in 10 non-farm workers were employed by a US staffing firm at some point during the past year, according to ASA. In fact, nearly one-fifth of all jobs gained since the recession ended have been temporary.

It's a sad state of affairs for our country. While part-time and temp jobs reached highs last month, full-time jobs decreased by another 240,000. The recovery, or lack thereof, is being fueled by a shift from full-time to part-time work.
