US temporary staffing hours were down 9% year over year and 2.0% sequentially in the week ended Jan. 25, according to the SIA | Bullhorn Staffing Indicator - February 4, 2025, report.

The year-over-year change reflects the impact of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. In 2024, the holiday occurred on Jan. 15, therefore the year-over-year changes compare a holiday week (this year’s week ending Jan. 25) with a full week (last year’s week ending Jan. 20).
