4 Fast-Growing Temp Jobs to Focus on Now
If you're like most people, salary may be the first thing that comes to mind when evaluating what makes a "good job." However, according to recent research, more and more workers -- both young and old alike -- are now prioritizing a different factor when assessing a job's potential: job security. In fact, 56 percent of younger workers and 59 percent of older workers preferred security to salary when asked to choose between two jobs.
For most people, the concept of a temp job and the concept of job security aren't necessarily congruent; however, a new breed of temp positions offer unprecedented job security. Formerly the domain of the unemployed and job searchers passing the time until a permanent job can be found, temp jobs are now a valuable tool for companies looking to keep pace with the latest trends and technologies in a dynamic market -- and for employees looking to capitalize on new demand. Based on research from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Forbes rounded up the list of 2015's fastest growing temp jobs. Let's take a look at four of the top picks.
