well ill speak for the labor part of temp/staffing services( even though im pretty sure you mean staffing only) well staffing agencies are not a scam. this is my girlfriends job here in SC, and trust me they want to get you a job so they can get there cut of money, not just the company but the person who would work your case.

now just for the hell of it im gonna speak on temp services about labor jobs at least. i think all temp services should be illegal, this is a middle man job, they do this to keep you from being able to go straight to a company and apply. i mean it saves the company time by not doing interviews, and lots of companies do this and will not allow you to apply to them in person. now here where the money comes in.say you get hired by a temp service for 10 an hour.. that job is really paying about 15 an hour and that other 5 goes to the temp service!!! pisses me off. but the good part and the way i used to work temp services is. get on a job and bust your ass and more then likely the job will hire you on fulltime, then you can get that extra 5 an hour!!!! i just wish this middle man scam bullshit would be outlawed!!!
