2 Firms Unite to Find Temporary Jobs for Laid-Off Workers: New York-based Drake Beam Morin Inc., which helps find permanent jobs for out-of-work clients, and Milwaukee-based temporary-help agency Manpower Inc. announced that they will work together to find temporary positions for highly skilled people laid off from white-collar jobs. The partnership comes against a backdrop of large-scale layoffs that have affected a broad range of businesses and show little sign of abating. The Drake-Manpower arrangement would give workers options while they are looking for permanent positions, and in many of those situations, the temporary jobs may result in full-time employment, the companies said. Drake Beam Morin is the nation’s largest job-placement firm; Manpower is the leading temporary-help provider.
