Steady job growth fueled by temporary and tech hiring

Over the next six months, there will be a continued boost in temporary hiring activity. Thirty-one percent of employers plan to hire temporary or contract workers, up from 21 percent last year. As employers become more confident that the economy is stabilizing, they'll likely turn some of their temporary hires into permanent ones. From our surveys, we find that on average, at least one quarter of employees typically convert temporary workers to full-time, permanent employees. Also, the new health-care law created some uncertainty around obligations to full-time employees, and with the employer mandate being pushed back a year, it may potentially cause more employers to move temporary workers into full-time roles. So while we do see temporary hiring as a trend, we also expect to see permanent hiring picking up as well.
