March 02, 2015

US temporary staffing revenue rose a median 10% year over year in January among staffing firms taking part in Staffing Industry Analysts’ monthly Pulse Survey. The year-over-year pace is unchanged for the fourth consecutive month.

“Median year-over-year revenue growth among survey respondents has been remarkably consistent at around 10% for the last six months,” said Research Analyst Ziv Tepman. “At the same time, a number of skill segments exceeded the 10% median growth mark in January, including travel and per diem nursing.”

According to the report, median year-over-year revenue growth accelerated in the industrial staffing segment to 11% in January from 10% in December, and in the finance/accounting segment to 10% from 9%.

Median year-over-year revenue growth decelerated in the following staffing segments in January from December:

  • Information technology: to 7% from 11%
  • Travel nursing: to 21% from 25%
  • Per diem nursing: to 15% from 16%
  • Allied healthcare: to 7% from 21%
  • Engineering/design: to 5% from 10%
  • Marketing/creative: to 12% from 34%

Median year-over-year revenue growth remained unchanged in the office/clerical segment at 5%.

Pulse Survey results are based on a monthly survey of US staffing firms. December’s survey included data submitted by individuals from 121 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.
