US temporary staffing revenue rose a median 9% year over year in November among staffing firms taking part in Staffing Industry Analysts’ monthly Pulse Survey. The 9% growth in November is a deceleration from the 11% growth rate reported in October.

“Though median year-over-year temporary staffing revenue growth remained relatively strong, this value decelerated and the percent of firms reporting positive year-over-year revenue growth dipped below 70% for the first time since March 2013,” said Research Analyst Ziv Tepman. “We will be paying close attention to next month’s figures to determine if this marks a trend or a one-time phenomenon.”

Median year-over-year revenue growth decelerated in the travel nursing segment to 29% from 51% and in the per diem nursing segment to 7% from 25%.

Median year-over-year revenue growth remained unchanged in finance/accounting at 10% and engineering/design at 3%.

Pulse Survey results are based on a monthly survey of US staffing firms. Data from the month of November was submitted by individuals from 136 staffing companies.

The full Pulse Survey Report is available to firms that take part in the survey. Features include data on bill rate trends, data split by US regions, and tables with a snapshot of year-over-year and month-over-month revenue growth for the most recent month.
