US temporary staffing revenue growth decelerated to a median 6% year over year in June from 7% in May, according to Staffing Industry Analysts’ latest Pulse report survey of staffing firms.

“Six months into the year, temporary staffing continued the moderate expansion showed since the beginning of 2018,” said SIA Research Analyst Sree Thiyagarajan said.

However, median year-over-year revenue growth accelerated in allied healthcare to 17% in June from 6% in May and in travel nursing to 5% from -2%. Median year-over-year revenue growth decelerated in the locum tenens staffing segment to 13% from 16% in May.

Median year-over-year revenue growth stayed the same in June for per diem nursing at 10%.

Starting with the report covering April, the Pulse research now covers metrics by company size - including median year-over-year revenue growth, bill rates, new order trends, and sales and recruiting difficulties.

US temporary staffing revenue rose a median 17% year over year in June for survey respondents with $10 million or less in US staffing revenue; 9% for those with $11 million to $200 million; and 4% at firms with more than $200 million in revenue.

Pulse survey results are based on a monthly survey of US staffing firms. Data from the month of June were submitted by individuals from 147 staffing companies. Corporate members of Staffing Industry Analysts can view a high-level summary of the report, and the full report is available to participants.
