In an article on Rediff.com on February 13, 2006, it mentioned that Temporary jobs are going to pick up pace.
The salary gaps between temps and permanent is shrinking and going to do so in the future as well.
" The compensation offered to temporary job seekers or temps has gone up substantially for freshers; with an average growth of 15 per cent across all experience levels."
However, there are some sectors that are very actively looking for temps. These sectors include IT/BPO/telecommunications. This is mainly due to the nature of their business and the short term needs to meet the gap between demand and supply.
The Article continues to state that "Temporary jobs can create 12 million jobs in India in the next five years, if requisite amendments are made in the Contract Labour Act, TeamLease said."
We will continue to bring to you new statistics as they are released.
