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.
