Opportunities
Adecco Group continues to see demand for temporary help from clients in every industry and region of the United States.
Job growth in the temporary, health care, leisure and hospitality and management/technical consulting sectors bring new opportunities for full time and temporary workers.
Weaknesses
Private sector job growth will need to increase speed in order for the unemployment rate to drop in the upcoming months.
In the next few months, we could see the unemployment rate remain the same even with job growth as more and more previously discouraged job seekers enter the market.
