2.2 million temp workers a week in 2024 is now a baseline for workforce plans

2.2 million temp workers a week in 2024 is now a baseline for workforce plans

According to the American Staffing Association, nearly 2.2 million temporary and contract employees worked for America’s staffing companies during an average week in 2024, and staffing provided job and career opportunities for about 11 million employees that year. Staffing Industry Analysts’ September 2026 research listings include a “US Staffing Industry Forecast: September 2026 Update” dated Sept. 1, 2026 and a “SIA | Bullhorn Staffing Indicator” report dated Sept. 1, 2026, indicating regular, time-stamped benchmarking. For operations, IT, and procurement leaders, it can help to separate weekly deployed headcount from annual hires, because each metric answers a different question about capacity and hiring volume.

  • 01A useful internal benchmark is “weekly deployed contingent headcount,” because ASA’s 2.2 million average-week figure (2024) maps to what sites actually supervise, badge, train, and keep safe, not just what firms hire over a year.
  • 02ASA’s occupational mix (36% industrial, 11% engineering/IT/scientific, 8% health care) indicates contingent labor is not confined to peak-season labor, it reaches regulated and higher-skill roles where access control, system entitlements, and credentialing become the bottleneck.
  • 03If contingent programs are global, SIA’s editorial focus on “think local” requirements (Sept. 2, 2026) is a reminder that the hardest work is often local onboarding and compliance variation, even when sourcing and reporting are centralized.

Remote rolls out a global HRIS as one system of record

Remote rolls out a global HRIS as one system of record

Remote said its purpose-built Remote HRIS is now available worldwide, adding a core system of record to the company’s global payroll, employer-of-record and contractor tools, according to Business Wire. The rollout lands as Remote reported more than 300% year-over-year growth in its payroll business, $300M in annual recurring revenue and cash-flow positivity, and introduced partner-facing infrastructure such as Remote MCP for AI agents, according to PR Newswire. For enterprise operators, the practical shift is consolidation: fewer bolt-on point tools for onboarding, compliance, performance and global payroll, but a higher bar for identity, integration and governance because HR data, payments rails and compliance rules now sit in one stack. The operational consequence shows up in integration backlogs, access-control design, and vendor evaluation criteria, especially for companies hiring across multiple countries where compliance updates and offboarding controls are as critical as payroll accuracy.

  • 01Remote is positioning its HRIS as the system of record for global employment, not a bolt-on EOR, and that changes how buyers should write HR and payroll integration requirements.
  • 02A global HRIS only pays off if identity, device lifecycle and offboarding are governed like IT operations, because access removal, final pay, and local documents must close together.
  • 03Vendor choice is getting noisier: SHRM’s vendor directory for HCM technology software lists many options, a reminder that consolidation decisions should be driven by data flows and compliance scope, not feature checklists.
