A growing number of businesses are converting temporary workers to permanent hires, announcing a warming job market.
"It’s definitely on the rise." says Rob Wilson, president of Employco Group, a Chicago-area staffing firm.
Temporary jobs jumped by 48, 000 in February to 2 million and are up 284, 000 since September.the government said Friday. That’s a good sign: Employers typically hire temporary workers before beefing up permanent staff.
Unlike in previous economic recoveries, temporary spots so far have been slow to proceed to more full-time positions. While layoffs have slowed substantially, economists say businesses are hesitating to hire permanent employees until the recovery is firm. Unemployment remains near 10%.
In a normal economy, one of three temporary workers is made full time. That ratio plunged to well under 10% in the recession, says Jonas Prising, head of Manpower’s Americas division.
He says his firm has seen just a small increase in temp-to-permanent hiring. "It’s nowhere near... a normal job market, " he says.
But Wilson says about 30% of the temporary workers placed by Employco’s Carlisle Staffing unit have become permanent hires in recent months. That’s up from 2% in the downturn.
Top staffing firm Adecco has seen a 50% rise recently in its temporary placements who go full time, says Tig Gilliam, CEO of Adecco North America. "There’s enough(employer)confidence."
About half the firms surveyed by the Society for Human Resource Management are boosting hiring in March, the most in about two years.
Temporary workers often cost employers less because they get no health insurance and other benefits. They also let businesses quickly respond to the market’s ups and downs. Experts say contract workers could make up a quarter of the workforce in a few years.
But the blossoming recovery means some temporary workers are staying on longer. Employers make them staffers to boost morale(士气)and avoid lawsuits that occur when employees who seem to be full time are treated like contract workers, Wilson says.
Capital Building Services, a janitorial(看门的)services firm in Lake Zurich, 111. .plans in the next few months to permanently hire two or three of t!: , : four temporary employees in its administrative offices.
"We have a feeling there’s a sustained recovery going on, " says CEO Mark Herbick."We really want to make them part of the team."
According to Jonas Prising and other staffing firms, the present job market______ .
选项
A、is normal because the ratio of unemployment is steady
B、is developing for increase in temp-to-permanent hiring
C、is hopeless because the gap is too large to bridge
D、is tough yet still hopeful for increase in permanent hiring
答案
D
解析
根据题干关键词Jonas Prising,staffing firms和the present job market定位到原文第五段至第七段。第五段提到临时工成为全职工人的比例下跌到了不足10%;第六段提到发现临时性工作向永久性工作的转变只有微小的增长,而且他评价道:“这离一个真正的就业市场…还差得远呢”,可知就业市场形势不容乐观,但随后第七段笔锋一转又提到临时工成为永久性雇员的比例比起经济衰退期的2%已大大增长,可见还是有希望的,D)项“很艰难但是有希望,因为永久性工作的雇用有了轻微的增长”符合文意。
