US temporary staffing revenue rose a median 10 percent year over year in November among staffing firms taking part in Staffing Industry Analysts’ monthly Pulse Survey. The pace is unchanged from the year-over-year growth rate in October.

“The Thanksgiving holiday cut into month-over-month revenue gains in November, but on a year-over-year basis revenue growth remained strong for the industry as a whole,” said Research Associate Ziv Tepman. “New order activity in temporary staffing showed no signs of slowing down heading into the year’s end.”

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

• Travel nursing: to 23 percent from 9 percent
• Per diem nursing: to 15 percent from 13 percent
• Office/clerical: to 5 percent from 4 percent
• Finance/accounting: to 4 percent from 3 percent

Median year-over-year revenue growth decelerated in the allied healthcare segment to 10 percent in November from 11 percent in October, and in the engineering/design staffing segment to 2 percent from 4 percent. It remained unchanged in the industrial and IT staffing segments at 14 percent and 7 percent respectively.

Pulse Survey results are based on a monthly survey of US staffing firms. December’s survey included data submitted by individuals from 105 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.
