American Staffing Association

Alexandria – September 18, 2026 -- The American Staffing Association (ASA) named Dr. Aline Milfort, a licensed school psychologist with National Recruiting Consultants (NRC), its 2027 National Staffing Employee of the Year, kicking off National Staffing Employee Week, Sept. 14-20.

ASA recognizes millions of temporary and contract workers placed annually across U.S. staffing agencies

The award, sponsored by StaffPro 3, a division of PMC Insurance Group, spotlights Dr. Milfort's work serving 10 campuses across North Houston, Texas. Since joining NRC in 2023 after earning her doctor of psychology degree in 2022, she has provided special education support through a contract role with Aldine Independent School District.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 14, 2026 - The American Staffing Association reported that its monthly Staffing Index rose marginally by 0.1% week-to-week for the period of March 9-15, 2026, settling at a rounded value of 87. Year-over-year, staffing employment was 5.3% higher compared to the same period in 2025, indicating that underlying demand for temporary and contract workers has maintained an upward trajectory even as near-term weekly momentum remains subdued. Staffing companies surveyed during the reporting period cited no single factor as a primary barrier to growth, a finding that complicates sector-specific diagnosis but also indicates that demand softness is broadly distributed rather than concentrated in one industry vertical. ASA published the data on March 24, 2026, as part of its ongoing monthly index series.
