What are 'temp' jobs?
Temporary jobs, or 'temp' roles, are short-term positions often filled by agencies. They offer businesses flexibility, allowing them to scale up or down quickly without the commitment of permanent hires. The story shows a rise in demand for these roles, suggesting companies are seeking agile solutions amidst economic uncertainty, perhaps to manage project-based work or cover staff absences.
