September 02, 2015

US temporary staffing revenue rose a median 14% year over year in July among staffing firms taking part in Staffing Industry Analysts’ monthly Pulse Survey. The 14% growth in July is above the 9% to 12% growth range observed throughout 2015 and an acceleration from the 10% growth rate reported in June.

“Industrial staffing picked up its growth pace after several slower months, and healthcare revenue growth remained particularly strong, especially in travel nursing,” said Research Analyst Ziv Tepman. “IT staffing also showed a number of bullish signs, including more widespread year-over-year revenue growth as compared to June.”

According to the report, median year-over-year revenue growth accelerated in the following staffing segments in July from June:

  • Office/clerical: to 4% from 3%
  • Industrial: to 11% from 5%
  • IT: to 11% from 10%
  • Per diem nursing: to 33% from 21%
  • Locum tenens: to 38% from 33%
  • Allied healthcare: to 17% from 13%
  • Marketing/creative: to 1% from 0%

Median year-over-year revenue growth decelerated in the following staffing segments in July from June:

  • Travel nursing: to 48% from 51%
  • Legal: to 38% from 55%
  • Engineering/design: to 3% from 7%
  • Clinical/scientific: to 7% from 11%

Median year-over-year revenue growth remained unchanged in finance/accounting staffing in July from June at 15%.
