Office Staffing & Temp Agencies in the US Industry Data and Analysis
The Office Staffing and Temp Agencies industry has thrived by offering agile staffing solutions to corporate clients, despite a volatile economic environment. In the aftermath of labor market disruptions brought on by the pandemic, the economy bounced back quickly. Amid a tight labor market, businesses turned to temp agencies to help fill recruitment gaps, producing consecutive years of record growth. However, as inflationary concerns picked up and the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to slow private investment, trickling down to year-to-year declines for staffing agencies. Despite turbulence, industry revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% over the past five years, totaling $260.1 billion in 2025. In 2025, industry revenue is forecast to rise 8.9%, with interest rates expected to temper further.The economy is grappling with a significant skills gap, especially in manufacturing, construction, IT and healthcare, with over half of workers lacking the necessary training for these crucial industries. This gap has created a disparity between employer demands and the skills available in the workforce. In a tight labor market, staffing agencies remain vital, providing businesses with a readily available pool of workers. Agencies are prioritizing workforce development by partnering with training providers and educational institutions to offer upskilling and reskilling programs, preparing workers for high-demand roles. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to transform recruitment by automating repetitive tasks, enabling agencies to deliver faster, more precise placements. As AI-driven tools become integral to the job market, agencies that stay ahead of the technology curve will be able to generate premium margins as overall profitability rises across the industry.In the coming years, staffing agencies will see growth as the economy expands, with workers rejoining the labor force turning to temp agencies to find temporary roles in hopes of securing a permanent position. Agencies will remain a permanent fixture in corporate strategies in the fast-growing healthcare sector, where temporary and travel nurses, medical coders and administrative support will be needed to meet the needs of an aging population. Consequently, industry revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 2.2% to reach $290.4 billion over the five years to 2030.
