Results of the ASA Staffing Employee Survey, which drew participation from nearly 12,000 current and former temporary or contract employees from 275 staffing companies, confirm that temporary and contract assignments help Americans get the permanent jobs they want.

The survey revealed that 99% of temporary and contract employees who want permanent positions achieve this career objective. Virtually all survey respondents indicated that securing a permanent job was important to them, and half (49%) stated that finding permanent employment was the primary reason for choosing to work in the staffing industry.
