This is not good news in my opinion. 2014 hiring trends I got this in an email from Monster

19. That's great if you want a temporary nation.

But if you want families that send kids to school to learn more than they did, income enough to support a government that creates the things that we cannot do by ourselves, you aren't going to get it done with labor from Kelly or Manpower.

What built this country was long-term thinking, investment in people and insfrastructure. This trend is short term, profit taking thinking, and it will hurt us badly in the long run.

If one is a temp worker, however, especially in tech, their single best strategy is to work the hours they can, and spend the rest of their time learning on their own, with NO loyalty to any company, state, city, or neighborhood. Only themselves. Because any one of those other distractions will screw you over anytime it is convenient and or profitable for them without a second thought for you. If you aren't looking out for yourself and your family, trying every day to gain more skills so the boss-man on the plantation sees you as more valuable, then you will lose, like many if not most people are losing.

If one wanted to design a way to run a country into the ground, it would be hard to find a better one.
