The growth in temporary jobs doesn't look to be slowing anytime soon, new research shows.
Temporary employment, which grew by 57 percent over the past five years, is expected to continue that growth over the next five. Analysis from CareerBuilder revealed that temporary and contract jobs, of which there are currently nearly 3 million, are projected to increase by 3 percent over the next year and 13 percent through 2019.
"Temporary employment will continue on an upward trajectory as companies look for ways to quickly adapt to market dynamics," Eric Gilpin, president of CareerBuilder's staffing and recruiting and health care divisions, said in a statement. "Two in five U.S. employers expect to hire temporary or contract workers this year, which opens new doors for workers who want to build relationships with different organizations and explore career options."
