Obama's Recovery Woes: America's Second-Largest Employer Is A Temp Agency

The Mainstream Media would like to have the American people think they are in the midst of a full blown economic recovery. But not so fast, there are a few more issues you need to be aware of before jumping to conclusions.

Wal-Mart is America’s largest employer.  Behind Wal-Mart, the second-largest employer in America is Kelly Services, a temporary work provider.

Friday’s disappointing jobs report showed that part-time jobs are at an all-time high, with 28 million Americans now working part-time. The report also showed another disturbing fact: There are now a record number of Americans with temporary jobs.

Approximately 2.7 million, in fact. And the trend has been growing.

In the first quarter of 2013, U.S. staffing companies employed an average of 2.86 million temporary and contract workers, according to the American Staffing Association. This represents a 2.9 percent growth from the same period in 2012. For just the month of June, there was a 6.7 percent growth in the number of staffing jobs than last year.

Temp jobs made up about 10 percent of the jobs lost during the Great Recession, but now make up a tenth of the jobs in the United States. In fact, nearly one-fifth of all jobs gained since the recession ended have been temporary.

It’s a sad state of affairs for our country. While part-time and temp jobs reached highs last month, full-time jobs decreased by another 240,000. The recovery, or lack thereof, is being fueled by a shift from full-time to part-time work.

With Obamacare in the not to distant future, it looks like part time employment will be the way of the future for America.  

Walmart and Kelly Temp Services are the largest employers in America?  It wasn’t that long ago it was GM, Ford and Chrysler, Companies that actually produced something.  Compared to the past leaders in employment, wages are much, much lower with Walmart and Kelly Services too.

Is this the “Change” Obama Promised Us?
