Employment

The employment services industry provided 3.2 million jobs in 2002, about 2.2 million of them in temporary help services firms. Professional employer organizations employed 790,000 and employment placement agencies employed another 281,000. Although about 36,000 of the 62,000 establishments in the industry are temporary help services firms, they employ 2 out of 3 industry workers.

Employment in the employment services industry is distributed throughout the United States. Workers are somewhat younger than those in other industries—44 percent of employment services workers are under 35, compared with 36 percent of all workers, reflecting the large number of clerical and other entry-level positions in the industry that require little formal education.
