US temporary staffing revenue rose a median 10% year over year in June among staffing firms taking part in Staffing Industry Analysts’ monthly Pulse Survey, well within the 9% to 12% growth range observed throughout 2015. However, the 10% growth in June marks a deceleration from the 12% growth rate reported in May.

“Commercial staffing, which consists of the industrial and office/clerical skill segments, lagged behind most of the professional skill segments,” said Research Analyst Ziv Tepman. “Within the professional space, the two areas that stood out most with strong and sustained double-digit median year-over-year revenue growth were healthcare and finance/accounting staffing.”

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

• IT: to 10% from 5%
• Travel nursing: to 51% from 33%
• Per diem nursing: to 21% from 16%
• Locum tenens: to 33% from 28%
• Finance/accounting: to 15% from 11%
• Engineering/design: to 7% from 4%

Median year-over-year revenue growth decelerated in the allied healthcare staffing segment to 13% in June from 24% in May and in the office/clerical segment to 3% from 5% in May.

Pulse Survey results are based on a monthly survey of US staffing firms. Data from the month of June was submitted by individuals from 125 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.
