INSIGHT - 2008-2009 Staffing Industry Forecast
In 2007, the staffing industry experienced its weakest growth in four years. The commercial side of temporary staffing saw a decline in revenue for the year, its first decline since 2002. The professional side continued to grow, but at a slower pace. Place and search, which boomed in 2004-2006, decelerated sharply to just under double-digit growth in 2007. We project the industry overall to come to a near stall in 2008. This updated forecast details our latest analysis of near-term prospects for the staffing industry. For more, click here.
