In summary…

The September jobs report brought job losses with unemployment remaining steady…

Opportunities• Adecco Group continues to see demand for temporary help from clients in

every industry and region of the United States.• Job growth in the temporary, health care, leisure and hospitality and

management/technical consulting sectors bring new opportunities for full time and temporary workers.

Weaknesses• Private sector job growth will need to increase speed in order for the

unemployment rate to drop in the upcoming months.• In the next few months, we could see the unemployment rate remain the

same even with job growth as more and more previously discouraged job seekers enter the market.
