Staffing employment for the week of Dec. 8–14 rose to 107.54, according to the ASA Staffing Index—the highest value since the index’s inception in June 2006. Temporary and contract staffing employment increased 0.40% from the prior week and was 4.18% higher than the same week last year.
That same week also will be used in the December monthly employment situation report, which will be issued by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Jan. 9.
