<\/div>\n

Temporary help services jobs in the US have decreased by 145,800 over the past year, bringing the total to 2.7 million, the lowest number since October 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These jobs are often seen as an early sign of changes in the unemployment rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of temporary help services jobs has now dropped for 23 straight months, marking the longest period of decline since the 2008 Financial Crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a percentage of total employment, temporary help services jobs have fallen from 2.1% in March 2022 to 1.7%, which is similar to levels seen during the last three recessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This suggests that the unemployment rate could increase by up to 1 percentage point in the coming months, assuming this pattern continues.
