FRESNO, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of National Staffing Employee Week, Sept. 14-20, PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, is recognizing its temporary and contract professionals across the country. Their skills, adaptability, and dedication help employers meet critical workforce needs and strengthen the communities they serve.

National Staffing Employee Week is observed annually by the American Staffing Association (ASA) to highlight the important contributions temporary and contract employees make to businesses and the U.S. economy while also recognizing the career opportunities the staffing industry provides for millions of workers.

According to ASA, 9.5 million temporary and contract employees worked for U.S. staffing companies in 2025. Staffing employment is also growing, with the ASA Staffing Index reporting 10 consecutive months of year-over-year growth.

PrideStaff associates contribute across a broad range of functions, including administrative and clerical, customer service, warehouse and light industrial, accounting and finance, and other professional roles.

"National Staffing Employee Week gives us an opportunity to recognize the people behind the work and thank them for the trust they place in PrideStaff. Their success is central to Our Mission to 'consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most,'" added PrideStaff Co-CEO Mike Aprile.
