The Importance of the Decline in Temporary Help Services

Temporary Help Services: A Leading Indicator of What's to Come

Did you know that temporary help services declined by 14,100 jobs last month? (Bureau of Labor Statistics) This may seem like another statistic, but it's quite significant. Here's why it matters.

Temporary Help Employment serves as a leading indicator for overall employment trends. In times of economic recovery from a recession, changes in staffing jobs can predict broader employment trends by about three months. When the economy grows normally, this predictive lead extends to six months. (Bureau of Labor Statistics)
