BROOKFIELD - Express Employment Professionals, the largest privately held U.S. staffing company, announces that temporary staffing sales by franchisees totaled more than $2.3 billion in 2012, up 10 percent from a record $2.1 billion in 2011. Since 2009, Express franchisees’ temporary staffing sales have increased 101 percent as staffing companies have become a significant driver of the nation’s job growth.

“The company’s ongoing rapid growth is indicative of a fundamental shift in hiring practices as employers increasingly rely on temporary workers for flexible staffing solutions that can respond to real-time market conditions,” said Rick Grimord, CEO of Express Employment Professionals in Brookfield.

In 2012, Express helped more than 367,000 workers find employment, up from 341,000 the year before. Express associates worked a total of nearly 117 million hours last year, an increase of more than 10 million hours from 2011 and an indicator that employer confidence has started to recover, a news release said.
