			<title>Employment &amp;amp; Staffing Franchises Franchise Opportunities from Franchise Direct</title>
			<description>According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the employment services industry, consisting primarily of employment and staffing businesses, is poised to be the second largest job-growth industry in the United States. With the 53% increase in temporary employment since 1996, potential employment and staffing franchisees can capitalize on the large market available to them.

The employment and staffing industry offers a broad range of services to businesses, including recruiting potential candidates, employment and personnel services as well as some human resource functions. In 2005, the American Staffing Association reported that staffing firms employed 2.9 million temporary and contract workers per day.

As a time-saver and a cost effective way to hire people, companies are turning to these employment and staffing companies for their hiring needs. In fact, these services have gained so much popularity that the 30,000+ staffing and employment companies in the US are boasting revenues of close to $75 billion annually.

Another trend that is allowing employment and staffing firms to achieve success is the aging population in the US. As baby boomers retire, these firms are finding more and more clients who need to hire people to fill the shoes of these retirees. The employment services industry will be the ones creating these jobs through 2014, according to a BLS report.

The BLS also projected that there will be a 19% increase in the rate of job growth in the employment services sector, as businesses want the flexibility afforded by temporary or part-time workers. Since staffing agencies can also recruit people with specialized skills, this helps meet the needs of businesses around the nation. They can also rely on temp-to-hire solutions offered by employment and staffing franchises.

The outlook for employment and staffing franchises is great, despite any signs of a bleak economic situation. Find out more about opportunities in this tremendous growth sector today.</description>
