The Truth About Temp Labor...

Temp labor is one of the fastest-growing industries in the US. Increasingly, temp workers are part of a business strategy to keep costs down and profits high. From mega-retailers to mom-and-pop shops, temps are hired to do some of the hardest and most dangerous jobs. While more and more of the American workforce is comprised of temporary workers, they're largely hidden from public view. Many of these workers stay silent, often having their livelihoods threatened if they speak out.

Temps do fill a crucial role at times however if you are working as a temp, there is a chance that you can be picked up permanently, however I strongly believe you should continue to job search until you find something permanent or at the very least full time.

Thanks for sharing this Steven Ransom ! I believe temps fulfill a needed role in a few different industries, but they should be on a contract that goes to full-time if they succeed expectations, or have a way to show career growth afterwards. The way temp workers are sometimes disposed of and recycled through by some companies is what I disagree with.

Thanks for sparking up a great conversation!
