Another sign of a weakening labor market: US temporary help services jobs fell -9,800 in August, to 2.5 million, the lowest since September 2020. Excluding the 2020 pandemic, this is the lowest level in 13 years. On a YoY basis, temporary help services jobs just posted their 33rd consecutive monthly decline. Since the March 2022 peak, temporary help services jobs have dropped by -677,000, or -21.3%, one of the largest drawdowns in history. This even exceeds the 2001 recession decline of -20%. Employment trends continue to deteriorate.
