Re: Should we get rid of or reduce Temp Agencies?
Some sucked, others not so much.
We moved out to Western Canada in 96- I was in the Military- Wife went thru temp agencies.I happened to marry a man who got transferred a lot and we mutually agreed from the beginning that he would be the primary bread winner. That meant I had to start over in each new town. The temp agencies were a wonderful way to go right back to work while I learned the ropes of the new place and figured out where the permanent jobs were. I never had to work in the temp jobs for long, but some of my coworkers preferred the temp agency for the flexibility and variety it offered. And they pretty much made a career of it turning down permanent job offers that came their way.
If you don't like temp agencies, though, how about getting behind those of us who are promoting a strong, healthy, economy and lots of real job creation in the private sector. Find enough good jobs for folks to take, and it will put the temp agencies out of business.
