New Poll on Size of Contract Workforce

Posted by MBO Partners

How big is your contract workforce? What proportion of your organization's workforce could be considered contingent or is contract-based? Please take a moment to visit our poll on LinkedIn: http://polls.linkedin.com/p/18415/hzyaj

 

In your answer, please include temps, independent contractors, independent consultants, seasonal hires, and single-person vendors. Essentially, consider anyone who is performing work in your organization that is not a "traditional" employee. Also, if your organization is international or multinational, include your global workforce in your estimate, as many companies (such as Microsoft) have a sizeable contract workforce offshore. Thanks for your help!

 

Recent research from the GAO estimates that over 31% of the American workforce is contingent, but this is a broad figure and includes sectors like agriculture and construction, where contingent worker use is very common. We're more interested in learning about the workforce mix in professional and knowledge-based organizations, so please take a second and click to answer the poll.
