This is proof that the temporary employment phenomenon won't be dwindling any time soon. An example of a sector that is rising like gangbusters for temps is the legal field. Due to the sky rocketing salary demands of full-time candidates wanting to enter law firms, principals are seeking solutions through staffing agencies. This is just one example of an industry experiencing significant growth in the use of the temporary workforce. This is happening across the spectrum of industries and employers are seeking staffing through agencies to save on payroll to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Productivity is at an all time high with the influx of newly acquired contract help.
One very strong impetus behind the growth of the contract worker is the large numbers of female workers entering the job field after college. They are outpacing their male peers in enrollment and completion of four-year degrees. Additionally, as these professional women have children, the numbers of employees demanding scheduling flexibility, telecommuting and other home-based work opportunities will continue to rise dramatically.
