NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Jobs may be coming back, but they aren't the same ones workers were used to.
Many of the jobs employers are adding are temporary or contract positions, rather than traditional full-time jobs with benefits. With unemployment remaining near 10%, employers have their pick of workers willing to accept less secure positions.
In 2005, the government estimated that 31% of U.S. workers were already so-called contingent workers. Experts say that number could increase to 40% or more in the next 10 years.

USA Staffing Services:
So the number of contingent workers is going to increase by almost a third? That's great news ... if your staffing firm has contingent staffing capabilities!
After spending five years building our first company, Superior Business Staffing, my partners and I had ample opportunity to learn firsthand all the pitfalls of contingent staffing from the owners' perspective. Most notably? The sheer amount of time, energy, and money required to offer a client even the most basic contingent recruiting service.
One reason that was so frustrating was it significantly reduced the amount of time/energy/money spent developing new clients/candidates, the very aspects of our business that actually made us profitable!
Another reason was, time and again, the mammoth employment agencies -- there's no need to name names here; you know who they are -- would place contingent workers with "our clients" because we didn't have the capabilities to do that. (Insurance, payroll, and the rest.)
USA Staffing Services was designed to help companies like Superior Business Staffing: smaller firms that haven't been able to place temps and have been losing money when a client asks for that service.
The bottom line? USA Staffing Services can make a big difference in your bottom line.
Forty percent temps? That's a target rich environment but you have to have the right ammunition.
