Staffing index suggests continued stabilization on the job front
Demand for temporary and contract employees remained unchanged from May to June, reflecting continued stabilization over the past six months. The index has been at 72 each week from May 11 through June 14, except for the week of Memorial Day (May 25), when it rose to 73. The index, which measures weekly changes in staffing employment, has been virtually flat since January.
The ASA Staffing Index estimates weekly changes in the number of people employed in temporary and contract work. ASA developed the index to provide a current measure of staffing industry employment trends.
