Abstract

In this article, I analyze the American temporary worker staffing business using a historical overview, focusing in particular on the distinctive features of Travel Nurses, registered nurses who work for temporary staffing agencies. The examination looks into an occupation that enables the worker to earn a living and build a successful career, even if employed as an agency temporary worker. Today, Japanese temporary workers are working for low wages and often with little job security. We need to prohibit discrimination in labor management based on employment status. Therefore, it is necessary to establish systems that afford workers the right to self-determination, and make it less likely that temporary worker will be disadvantaged.
