Investigate temporary service job agencies for increasing joblessness, price gouging workers, and low benefits.

Created by L.J. on October 27, 2011

Temporary job agencies allow companies to temporarily hire workers for positions that ultimately prop up the unemployment rate instead of new hires. Temporary job agencies are not responsible for company hiring practices. And after a 3-month temporary period, experienced workers are often let go. Workers who wind up as unemployed, or rehired by temp services in the same position for the same company. Temporary job agencies often utilize extra fees and restrictions to name a few: Two 15-minute breaks, work facility confinement, no social interaction, mandatory agency transportation fees, placement, and medical insurance. Human resource officers for companies often consult temporary agencies to make a profit and lower worker income and prevent new company hires.
