One of the fastest growing segments in the job market is temporary employment.
Part-time employment in the U.S. will soon grow faster than all other jobs, according to a new report. The study, published Friday by TrueBlue and labor-market analytics company Emsi, found that temporary employment has grown steadily over the last several years, as the U.S. recovered from the 2008 financial crisis.
The study also found that 42 percent of individuals picking up temporary work take on at least two jobs per week; most respondents said they started a part-time job in order to earn extra money, though some said it was to get their foot in the door with a company.
These will be the fastest-growing temporary occupations from 2019 to 2025, the report found:
* Laborers and freight, stock and material movers, hand: 598,077 jobs, adding 53,627 new positions
