Conflicting Patterns in Demand for U.S. Contingent Labor

While the rest of the contingent work market is cooling off a bit, appetite for contingent software developers and a few other IT roles is as strong as ever.

In this edition of our Extended Workforce Intelligence Report, we examine a variety of new findings including:
