To illustrate new data about temporary and contract employees in the U.S., ASA has published a fact sheet on staffing employees’ varied motivations for choosing temporary or contract work.
The 2014 ASA Staffing Employee Survey was conducted among 11,969 current (64%) and former (36%) temporary or contract employees who had worked for one of 275 staffing companies on or after Jan. 1, 2013. The data show that nearly half of temporary and contract employees (49%) choose staffing because it’s a way to get a permanent job. The fact sheet is available at americanstaffing.net.
