Hiring through staffing firms was reported to be up in several Federal Reserve districts, according to the Federal Reserve Beige Book released Wednesday.

Those districts reporting increases included New York, Cleveland, Chicago and Dallas, according to the report. The greatest demand was in office and healthcare workers.

However, overall labor market conditions remained soft in most districts, and wage pressures remained subdued.

The report said economic conditions have improved, but activity remains at low levels.
