Staffing & Employment News
The BLS statistics were encouraging. Nonfarm payrolls were increased by 195,000 jobs in October. The private sector created 151,000 of these jobs, marking the 10th consecutive month of job growth. Almost 1/3 of these increases were in "professional and business services" specifically in professional and technical, computer systems design, management and technical consulting, administrative and waste services, and employment services. Employment in temporary help services also continued to increase in October. This month's gain was 35,000; increasing 451,000 since September 2009 lows. Staffing job trends serve as an employment indicator, particularly when recovering from a recession. The ASA index bottomed out at the end of June 2009, but has grown almost continuously ever since. Let's hope that the staffing bell weather rings in a growth rate that keeps the positive momentum going and meets our recovery expectations.  |
