I visited a staffing agency a couple of months ago, looking for some work to supplement my meager income. Much to my surprise, there was only one person working in an office that had desks for at least a dozen employees, and she told me that they didn’t have a single job available. Today, I tried a different agency and had more luck. They also had one employee working in an office that could house a dozen workers. But they had two jobs available. I could do light assembly in a warehouse or I could stand in a restaurant lobby and ask people to fill out a survey.
There are literally no jobs in my area for anything. They don’t even have data entry jobs. It’s amazing. I have no idea how these agencies are even paying their rent, although trimming down to one employee helps explain it.
