20. Observation
In 2010, 20.8% of responding employers indicated they intended to hire
either freelancers or contract workers.
For 2011, only 16.1% indicate they intended to hire either freelancers or
contract workers.
The slight 4.7% decrease may be attributable to conversion of these hires
into either FTE or PTE by Pierce County employers, or it may simply be an
indicator of less “on call” help required in the coming year.
21. SUMMARY
Survey results suggest significant growth of FTE positions in Pierce County during the
coming year, while PTE growth will be moderate.
Responses show that employers intend to increase salary levels in 2011. This could
indicate employers are beginning to offer more attractive wages to make sure valued
employees are not lured away by firms seeking to staff up during the next 12 months.
There is little or no anticipated change to the use of flexible working arrangements for
2011; employers that currently use these strategies will likely continue using them and,
perhaps, establish them as a standard policy.
Overall, the use of freelance and contract workers will diminish slightly. When
combined with anticipate FTE growth, it is reasonable to believe than some of the
reduction may be caused by freelance/contract transition to employee status.
One concern: uncertainty about future hiring plans has increased; twice as
many employers indicated they are not sure what they will do in 2011.
