The temporary staffing business changes with the economy. It shrinks in a recession and grows in a strong economy. Many employers rely on the flexibility of temporary workers to fulfill labor needs during economic expansion.
A small business can take advantage of temporary labor by researching local agencies and establishing relationships with those who can provide the type of workers it will need. However, it is important to work with more than one agency to attain the best price, and consider the quality of labor agencies can offer. |

Bamboo Scaffolding?
One thing that surprised me on my trip to India was that bamboo was still commonly used for scaffolding. I was blown away by the gigantic structures I saw being built -- skyscrapers, statues, modern office buildings -- that were covered in a bamboo skeleton, rather than the metal I was used to seeing in the United States. But no matter how unsettling it may be to look at, bamboo is used for a reason: it's strong, extremely lightweight, and very flexible (as you'll see in the photos). Check out this gallery of crazy bamboo scaffolding across Asia -- I hope you're not afraid of heights! http://www.gadling.com/2007/07/20/gallery-asias-crazy-bamboo-scaffolding/ |

Commercial Construction Forecast
With only a few exceptions, 2008 forecasts by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) and McGraw-Hill Construction projected declines in virtually all segments of the non-residential building construction market. FMI Corp., a Denver-based research firm, was a bit more optimistic, predicting construction growth, albeit at a significantly slowed rate.
In a prepared statement, PCA’s chief economist, Ed Sullivan noted, “Our forecast anticipates the impact of a significant economic growth slowdown on the construction industry, but does not predict a recession.”
