Encadria Staffing Solutions Saluted Millions of Temporary Workers During
National Staffing Employee Week, September 18th – 24th
Encadria Staffing Solutions joined staffing companies across
the country in celebrating National Staffing Employee Week, established
by the American Staffing Association to pay tribute to the 2.9 million
Americans who are employed by staffing firms every day. According to ASA,
businesses tap staffing companies for quality talent in virtually all
occupational sectors, from call center service representatives to skilled
tradesmen to airplane pilots to attorneys. ASA also reports that 79% of
temporary and contract employees work full-time (35 hours or more per week),
virtually the same as the rest of the workforce. We’re proud to be
involved in an industry that provides so many benefits to employees, to
businesses, and to America’s economy. Once again, thank you to all
