Every year, ASA produces an economic analysis of the staffing industry, published as a special issue of Staffing Success magazine, which discusses how to interpret recent economic trends affecting the U.S. staffing industry—and how to utilize staffing and economic data to make smart decisions and projections for your business.

ASA chief economist Noah Yosif and ASA assistant director of research Tim Hulley will provide an introduction to concepts from the Staffing Industry Playbook, which will be published later this fall, during the ASA webinar “Staffing STATS—Quarterly Data-Centric Webinar: The 2024 Staffing Industry Playbook.” It takes place Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2–3 p.m. Eastern time.

All ASA webinars are free for ASA members, and most qualify for continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal. To learn more and to register, visit americanstaffing.net.

Staffing agencies that participate in managed service provider (MSP) and vendor management system (VMS) arrangements may need to protect themselves against financial risks in those relationships.

The ASA Legal Line monthly video series features a member of the association’s legal team and addresses critical legal, regulatory, and legislative topics that have direct implications for your business. In the latest installment, ASA general counsel Brittany Sakata, Esq., offers warning signs for staffing firms to watch for and discusses the updated issue paper that ASA has published to help members navigate the use of MSPs and VMSs in the staffing marketplace.

MSPs and many other important topics critical to your staffing business will be covered in sessions at Staffing World^®, the ASA annual convention and expo, Oct. 22–24 in Nashville, TN. Visit staffingworld.net for more information.
