Canton, Ohio (PRWEB) February 04, 2014 -- Contract staffing growth is outpacing job growth in the rest of the economy five times over. A recent blog post by contract staffing back-office provider Top Echelon Contracting, Inc., (TEC) lists which positions are driving that growth.
TEC specifically looked at positions in Information Technology (IT), Manufacturing/Engineering, and Healthcare because those are among the top industries for contract staffing. The list was compiled based on TEC’s own contract placement statistics, industry data, and conversations with recruiters.
According to TEC’s research, the hot contract staffing opportunities for 2014 are expected to be in the following positions:
Engineering/Manufacturing
• Engineers (Control, Electrical and Industrial)
• Field Service Engineers/Technicians

In Healthcare, therapy continues to be a hot area for both contract staffing and direct hire.
