The decline, highlighted in the June employment report, caps a stunning two-year streak of job losses in a sector that traditionally has served as a bellwether for hiring across the U.S. Temporary staffing agencies serve a variety of industries but especially manufacturing, warehousing, retail, health care, technology and administrative office work. |
