Maybe your image of staffing agencies is something you got from movies or television shows. You know the picture: A dirty, somewhat rundown building with a bunch of questionable-looking men hanging out on the sidewalk smoking cigarettes and waiting for that day’s job. Well, that may make for good cinema, but it doesn’t tell the true story of staffing in Florida.

In 2019, the population of Florida was estimated to be a little over 21 million people. Of those, nearly a million were provided work through a staffing agency like Labor Solutions. In fact, on an average week, there were almost 180,000 people given work through a staffing agency somewhere in the state of Florida. That’s a significant number.

While general labor jobs are certainly part of the jobs provided through staffing agencies, it’s not the full story. Most of these jobs were in healthcare with the next largest being in engineering, IT, and science-related jobs. Many of them were also in industrial work. From general labor to skilled trades, Labor Solutions has current jobs open to help you connect with the right company.

While many temporary jobs are just that, temporary, that can mean a number of different things and isn’t even always true. Across the country, the average length of temporary jobs through a staffing agency is 10 weeks. For Labor Solutions some jobs are, indeed, temporary. Still, in other cases, these temp jobs turn into permanent, full-time positions. The goal of Labor Solutions is not simply to stick people into holes within a given company. Rather, the goal is to provide the right fit for the right company.

Whether you are an employer looking for the right person to provide some additional help for a season, or a person seeking the company that is right for you, Labor Solutions is here to help.
