October Continues Trend of Recovery
ACSESS Canadian Staffing Index Positive Again
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 23 /CNW/ - The Association of Canadian Search, Employment and Staffing Services (ACSESS) released the Canadian Staffing Index for October 2010.
The Canadian Staffing Index saw another point gained on its ride to the 100 benchmark set in July 2008. The October reading of 94 was the third month in a row the Index increased and represents a 29 point increase over the May 2009 low of 65.
As predicted by many business analysts our economic recovery will be long and slow. The Canadian Staffing Index for October support ACSESS' belief that the staffing industry is the first to see both positive and negative corrections resulting from economic influences.
Steve Jones, ACSESS President, says "The mere one point growth signifies organizations continue to watch the global economy and are cautious in their hiring strategies. However, it is a trend that has seen us recover 29 points in the last 17 months and ACSESS Members across the country are reporting that they are getting very busy. We continue to believe this Index is an excellent indicator of the state of Canada's labour market."
