WERE ALLOWED TO OPERATE IN
MANY STATES, WITH SOCIAL
SECURITY WITH SOCIAL
DISTANCING THAT IS THE ISSUE,
RETAIL TRADES HAD A DECLINE
37,000 JOBS, FOR THE MONTH
LEISURE AND HOSPITALITY DOWN
61,000 FOR THE MONTH OF
JANUARY, WHERE ARE THE SECTORS
THAT ARE ACTUALLY CREATING
JOBS JOANIE?
>> MARIA AS I DIG INTO NUMBERS
I AM VERY EXCITED TO SEE THAT
THE TEMPORARY SECTOR THE
SECTOR I AM IN ACTUALLY ADDED
80,000 JOBS.
AND WHY I AM EXCITED ABOUT
THAT IS WE ALL KNOW THIS
REPORT IS MORE OF A LAGGING
INDICATOR TO WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
THE TEMPORARY SECTOR IS ALWAYS
A LEADING INDICATOR.
AND THE AMERICAN STAFFING
ASSOCIATION THEY TRACKED
TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT ON A
WEEKLY BASIS.
THEY HAVE THE ASA INDICES
SHOWING THAT IT IS FLOWING
WEEK-OVER-WEEK SO THAT IS A
LEADING INDICATOR THAT THE
ECONOMY IS MOVING IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
AND THAT INDEX IS ALSO SHOWING
THAT CURRENTLY WE ARE
ADPRE-COVID LEVELS IF YOU LOOK
BEING WHERE WE ARE TODAY VOERS
U.S. THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE
HAVE MORE TEMPORARY WORKERS
TEMPORARY CONTRACT EMPLOYMENT
JOBS A LEADING INDICATOR FOR
THE ECONOMY WE ARE MOVING IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION, STARTING
THE TO HIRE AGAIN ADDING TO
THEIR PAYROLLS BRINGING
WORKERS, BACK TO WORK.
SO THIS SECTOR IF YOU LOOK AT
ALL NUMBERS ACTUALLY HAD
80,000 JOBS CREATED FOR THE
MONTH OF JANUARY, ONE OF THE
STRONGEST SECTORS, THIS
ACTUALLY POINTS TO MORE FUTURE
JOB GROWTH, AND I CAN ALSO
TELL YOU I AM ON THE BOARD AT
AMERICAN STAFFING ASSOCIATION,
WE HAD A BOARD MEETING THIS
WEEK I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK
WITH ALL MY PEERS IN THE
INDUSTRY PEOPLE ARE VERY, VERY
BULLISH THE DEMAND FOR JOBS,
IS OUT THERE.
THE BIG CHALLENGE IS STILL
GETTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK.
AND THE OTHER CONCERN IS
AROUND SKILLS.
GETTING PEOPLE THE SKILLS THEY
NEED TO DO THE JOBS OF THE
FUTURE, THOSE WERE THE TWO BIG
ITEMS THAT WERE DISCUSSED, WE
TALKED A LOT ABOUT SEND
GETTING PEOPLE VACCINATED AS
WELL THERE ARE JOBS OUT THERE,
THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES THERE
IS PENT-UP DEMAND, EMPLOYERS
WANT TO HIRE.
SO EVEN THOUGH THIS ISN’T A
GREAT REPORT I THINK IT IS
