Figures. Under Obama – America’s Second-Largest Employer is a Temporary Service Company

It’s an Obama world…
Last Friday respected economist Mark Zandi said may have caused a huge spike in part-time workers.

Ya think?

Today we find out that Kelly Services, a temporary work provider, is the second-largest employer in the United States.
The Washington Examiner reported:

Behind Wal-Mart, the second-largest employer in America is Kelly Services, a temporary work provider.

Friday’s disappointing jobs report showed that part-time jobs are at an all-time high, with 28 million Americans now working part-time. The report also showed another disturbing fact: There are now a record number of Americans with temporary jobs.

Approximately 2.7 million, in fact. And the trend has been growing.

In the first quarter of 2013, U.S. staffing companies employed an average of 2.86 million temporary and contract workers, according to the American Staffing Association. This represents a 2.9 percent growth from the same period in 2012. For just the month of June, there was a 6.7 percent growth in the number of staffing jobs than last year.
