April jobs outlook could be even better than reported, says Randstad Sourceright CEO
ATLANTA—May 5, 2017– Rebecca Henderson, CEO of global human resource provider Randstad Sourceright, released the following statement today in response to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report.
“After lackluster job growth in March, the 211,000 new jobs added in April are an encouraging sign that the labor market is bouncing back, particularly since these numbers could be even better than reported.
“In the past, official job numbers have not included America’s rapidly growing contingent workforce, but for the first time in 12 years, the BLS will launch an effort this month to gather data on part-time, freelance and independent contractors. Based on Randstad Sourceright’s data, companies are increasingly using contingent workers to staff as much as 30 percent of their total workforce, so this new BLS data will finally help paint a complete picture of the total American labor force in today’s digital economy.”
