As the economy corrects itself, more workers are finding themselves working on a temporary basis with the hopes of it turning into a full-time position. However, this recession has taught employers to be more cautious of their costs and execute cost-effective strategies at all times. Therefore, many employers are hiring workers for job specific duties on a part-time basis. Littler Mendelson, a law firm that specializes in workforce development, suggests changes in the configuration of the workforce by 2015. The firm conducted a report where results demonstrated that the growth of social networking sites correlated with the increase of freelancing. However, some argue that following the recession, employers will want to secure valuable employees for permanent positions.
