Looking for real-time data on staffing employment? The ASA Staffing Index reports weekly changes in the number of people employed in temporary and contract work, now including data on staffing starts (new assignments). The data will help your firm evaluate its performance against a national metric on both a weekly and long-term basis.

All staffing firms with U.S. operations are invited to participate in the ASA Staffing Index survey. Every Tuesday, participants receive an email with the results of the weekly survey, including figures by company size, and access to historical data and new dynamic charts. These data, which are not available anywhere else, allow staffing firms to compare how their business is doing on a weekly basis relative to similarly sized firms in the industry. There are no fees to participate in the five-question survey.

Don’t get stuck with outdated or unreliable data—sign up to participate in the ASA Staffing Index and receive the most up-to-date information about the staffing industry. For more information about the index, visit americanstaffing.net/staffing-index.

Per the bylaws of the American Staffing Association, this is to notify ASA members that the ASA board of directors, at its regularly scheduled meeting held in Washington, DC, on May 7, 2025, duly adopted certain changes to the association’s bylaws, which were last updated in 2012. The changes were designed to update the verbiage to conform with the current ASA mission, correct minor inaccuracies, and improve internal administration. The primary changes pertain to the board’s composition—namely, to allow the board to fill a limited number of seats with individuals not affiliated with a member company who the board determines will bring exceptional value to the board based on their background, qualifications, and prior experience on the board; and to substitute “large enterprises” (as defined by the board) for “national firms” in the current bylaws provision providing that no more than one-half the board shall be made of national firms. The board determined that “large enterprise” should be defined as $500 million in annual U.S. revenue. Members may review the full set of the bylaws, showing all changes, at americanstaffing.net.
