The New Jersey Staffing Alliance, as a service to its members and the NJ staffing industry, solicited responses to a survey in order to gain insight on recent market conditions that the industry has faced this year, and the near-term prospects of improvement as the economy begins to strengthen. The information has been compiled on an anonymous basis. Please click here for your copy of this survey.

 

Significant results of the survey included:

• The staffing segments that have had the greatest downward price pressures over the past 12 months are: Direct Hire, Temporary Staffing – Light Industrial, and Temporary Staffing – IT.
• The staffing segments with the highest percentage believing that business will improve by October 1, 2009 were: Temporary Staffing – Clerical/Admin and Temporary Staffing – Light Industrial.
• When asked to forecast when pricing would begin to improve, a majority of most segments believed strengthening would happen by early 2010… some segments by January 1, 2010 and others by April 1, 2010.

Detailed staffing segment analysis are in the Survey Report Summary.
