Temporary Workers, (contracted employees, part time employees, or temporary employees), seem to be a new trend for companies to save money. The popular phrase is “New Normal”. The Toronto Star wrote this issue last fall and it is still valid today. They stated that it was a global growth in business throughout small companies as well as big corporations.
The Toronto Star believes this new development is to steer away from high expenditures including employee cuts and insurance. They also made mention that 10 years ago, non-temporary jobs were 68% of all Canadian employment. Now, it’s 63%. This shows the shift of permanent to temporary jobs.
On a positive note for people wanting to be a Truck Driver, it may be a good field in the “New Normal.” There are plenty of jobs available for those wanting to be a truck driver in this new phenomenon. Most truck driving companies are hiring.
The Toronto Star’s article, “Job insecurity: the corrosive new normal” believes that more and more permanent jobs will be outsourced to contractors and part time employee will replace the full time employee so companies can stay competitive in this global economy. They also believe that this is the new work force from this time forth.
A lot of economists out there also agree with the Toronto Star’s article. Companies can certainly save a ton of money when use temporary workers to fill truck driving jobs. Another draw back to this practice is that temporary employees may view a position as short term and not fully commit to the position they were hired for.
Again, Truck Driving Companies always need drivers. CR England is one company that is looking for truck drivers. If you are someone who is a temporary worker wanting permanent work or is unhappy in your current job, contact CR England at www.crengland.com.
