Quarter of workforce could be temps as contract work grows
Last week expert analysts predicted that a few years down the road about 25% of the workforce are going to be temps. One of the major reasons for these ideas is that last month only 11,000 jobs were lost and temporary staffing agencies found 52,000 jobs for others. For the next few years temporary employees are going to find great job opportunities because as employers look for long term replacements they do not want to pay their current employees benefits, which would not be included in the pay of the temps.

This is a very startling, yet very true statistic for Americans. I also believe companies who ship jobs overseas could also impose a threat to full-time jobs.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that this benefit us at all or do you think that these temp jobs are more likely to be short term and only cover up the glaring problem that we have now? I think that this statistic of only losing 11000 jobs is not that good because if people are only part time they will still be in debt.
