Temporary staffing revenue continued its strong growth in June with revenue up a median 21% year over year among firms taking part in Staffing Industry Analysts’ latest Pulse Survey report released last week. The revenue increase was in line with April’s. However, relative weakness in new orders was one area that stuck out; the net increase in new orders of 35% was the lowest since July 2020.

Travel nurse revenue kept up its two-year growth run with revenue up a median 75% year over year. The next fastest revenue growth rates occured in allied healthcare and per diem nursing, up a median 32% and 25% respectively.

The slowest growth was in legal, which rose 2% year over year.

IT staffing revenue was up a median 20% year over year in June.

The latest Pulse Survey included data from 156 staffing firms.

A report that includes selected highlights from the Pulse Survey is available to corporate members of SIA; the full Pulse report itself is available only to companies that took part in the survey. The full 39-page report contains insights on trends in revenue, bill rates, orders, gross margins, recruiting/sales difficulty and a six-month outlook for each staffing skill segment.
