The Detroit News reports today Firms offering fewer temp jobs.

A snippet:

While demand has waned for clerks and other low-skilled workers, experts say opportunity abounds for those with specialized skills in fast-growing fields like health care, engineering and information technology.

Accountemps, a staffing firm that focuses on the financial sector, reported an increase in hiring in southeast Michigan for both entry-level and senior-level workers. Mergers, closings and other business-to-business transactions require short-term accounting help, according to Kristen Cislo, a Southfield-based branch manager.

In addition to financial services, workers in engineering, health care, information technology and science are wanted “across the board,” according to Shaun Fracassi, a senior vice president and general manager at Kelly Services.
