Job Openings Continue to Climb as Express Marks 2020 National Staffing Employee Week

Express Employment Professionals’ North American job openings continue to soar to nearly 26,000 as the company kicks off National Staffing Employee Week, Sept. 14 – 20.

According to the American Staffing Association, around 3 million temporary and contract employees work for staffing companies in America during a given week. Seventy-three percent of temporary and contract employees work full time (35 hours or more per week), and six out of 10 staffing employees said they work in the industry to fill the gap between jobs or help secure a permanent position.

“Staffing companies have played an integral part in economic recovery over the years, and they are often one of the first positive indicators on the economy’s way back up,” said Express CEO Bill Stoller. “This year, we are particularly pleased to celebrate all of our employees who were deemed essential during the COVID-19 pandemic for their hard work and commitment to safe workplaces.”

Express is hiring immediately at its more than 825 locations internationally in the light industrial, office services and professional industries. Current job openings at all locations can be found on ExpressPros.com or in the ExpressJobs app. There are also several opportunities available for franchise ownership in the rewarding staffing industry at ExpressFranchising.com.

“Whether you are looking for a temporary assignment or a long-term career change, our recruiters are ready to help find you that perfect fit,” Stoller said. “Every year, Express employs hundreds of thousands of people and we are honored to be a part of their employment journey.”
