Canadian staffing index post year-over-year decline in November

December 21, 2015

The Canadian staffing index fell in November, continuing a trend of moderate year-over-year declines. The index, which measures staffing activity in Canada, fell to a reading of 108 in November, down from a reading of 111 in November 2014.

”Throughout 2015 we have observed a trend of moderate year-over-year declines in the Canadian Staffing Index,” David Francis, research associate at Staffing Industry Analysts, said. “This trend continued in the month of November, where total billed hours were lower even though November had one more working day this year than last year.”

The Association of Canadian Search, Employment and Staffing Services and Staffing Industry Analysts produce the index. It is based upon reported billed hours for temporary staffing from a survey of leading staffing firms.
