Temporary jobs are in full swing particularly in the Southwest, especially in Texas. Though the job market in El Paso got a jolt in recent months when two El Paso employers announced plans to lay off almost 500 workers this year and the next year, economists and employment experts still expect a fairly healthy job market this year with some modest gain in El Paso, Texas temp jobs, and a rate of job growth projected to be slightly better than the national rate. Ceci Miles Mulvihill, president of RM Personnel, an El Paso employee staffing agency, said that despite the recent layoffs, El Paso's distribution and manufacturing industries continue to have many openings for temporary workers. Many temp jobs in Texas are open for forklift operators, and manufacturing machine operators, she said. RM Personnel employed an average of 900 temporary workers each month last year. Economist Roberto Coronado expects El Paso to add 5, 000 to 6, 000 jobs this year. He oversees the El Paso branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. “If we compare the local labor market to the national labor market, you see El Paso has actually outperformed the national economy by far during the recession and during the post-recession recovery period,” he said. The market for temp workers in El Paso, Texas temp jobs is more booming than before as some of the temp jobs in Texas turn into permanent jobs. “Both Texas and El Paso should observe fairly healthy job growth this year,” Tom fullerton, an economics professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, said. He expects El paso to add about 7, 000 jobs this year and to have a job growth rate around 1.9 percent. El Paso's unemployment rate remains well above the state and national rates. El Paso, Texas temp jobs are stable and the market is expected to grow this year, especially in the retail industry. Furthermore, many employers are expanding their companies, spending millions to build and equip additional El Paso facilities.
