Temp hiring continues strong, according to the latest reading from the American Staffing Association.
The group's hiring index has set a record so far this month, rising to 109 from last month’s record 108. The Virginia-based organization says its index is the most comprehensive reading of the weekly changes in temporary and contract employment.
For a few months now, some Long Island staffing company have said that demand has been steady, especially for accountants and sales executives.
Temp stats are closely watched because they are considered a key barometer of hiring trends in general.
