Dallas - The Temporary Capital of America



An article in the September 14, 2014, edition of The Dallas Morning News, on page 1D, by Mitchell Schnurman, “Number of Temps Just Keeps Rising,” discusses the rise of
temporary employment in the Dallas area.

What accounts for this growth in Dallas?  Several reasons are suggested in the article: 1. the big increase in business relocation to the area, 2. oil and gas companies are raiding workers from other industries, and 3. rapid growth in the Dallas economy.  The good news is that a rapid rise in temporary employment precedes growth in the greater job market.  Employers are reluctant to increases in hires following mass layoffs of the last recession.

Quoting a strategic researcher, the article states that large companies are definitely shifting to the use of temporary workers.  Further, because of the shortage of specialized skill workers, such as nurses and high tech workers, many organizations are of hiring temporary staff to filled key positions.

Thanks!  Glyn
