Temporary Help Services federal obligations in FY2026
$309,475,114.34 is the USAspending.gov FY2026 obligation total for Temporary Help Services (NAICS 561320). About seven percent of a $4.49 billion temp-help extract is an early-year cell. A 11,573-row parent is a thick action file, not a FY2026 worker census. That pair is Temporary Help Services (NAICS 561320) and federal fiscal year 2026 — not every federal dollar in FY2026, not Temporary Help Services's $4,493,493,947.21 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 6.9% of this industry's published obligation total. 11,573 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2026-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

How 561320 meets fiscal year 2026 in the award file
NAICS 561320 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $309,475,114.34 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Temporary Help Services's nationwide all-year total of $4,493,493,947.21, not every federal dollar coded to FY2026, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split occupations filled, or contract from assistance. 11,573 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a temp-worker headcount, a named-staffing roster, or a billed-hour ledger.
Open /industries/561320/ (NAICS 561320) for the industry table without this FY2026 filter, /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $309,475,114.34. Temporary help is not residual business support (561499). Staffing and residual support stay on different Census keys.
Keeping 561320 from collapsing into a nearby NAICS
USAspending labels NAICS 561320 as Temporary Help Services. That code produced $309,475,114.34 when crossed with fiscal year 2026. The industry-wide 561320 hub does not require a FY2026 filter. The year hub does not require Temporary Help Services. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split occupations filled, or contract from assistance. Current-year FY2026 figures can be incomplete. Do not annualize this snapshot into a full-year staffing forecast.
Correlation is not causation: FY2026 did not cause $309,475,114.34 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 561320 × FY2026 only. This cell is not a temp-worker headcount, a named-staffing roster, or a billed-hour ledger. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate. Eleven thousand five hundred seventy-three industry-extract award records describe 561320 across years, not a FY2026 temp-worker headcount.
11,573 is not a FY2026 vendor list
11,573 is the Temporary Help Services award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2026 instruments. Dividing $309,475,114.34 by 11,573 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. Eleven thousand five hundred seventy-three industry-extract award records describe 561320 across years, not a FY2026 temp-worker headcount. FY2026 figures can be incomplete for the current year, so even the dollar cell may still move.
A thick parent file makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A thin parent file makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. 6.9% of $4,493,493,947.21 is the year share on this packet, not a performance score.
$309,475,114.34 is a commitment sum
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $309,475,114.34 is that kind of sum for Temporary Help Services in FY2026. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $309,475,114.34 as given.
Treat 11,573 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2026 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Do not convert obligations into a named-staffing-firm list. Occupations filled are unpublished.
Using /industries/561320/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ as overlays
Cite USAspending.gov: Temporary Help Services (NAICS 561320) obligated $309,475,114.34 in FY2026. Name Temporary Help Services and FY2026 together. Keep the obligation word. If /industries/561320/ or /fiscal-years/2026/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a temp-worker headcount, a named-staffing roster, or a billed-hour ledger. 6.9% of $4,493,493,947.21 is the industry share on this packet, not a budget score. /industries/ lists other industries; /ties/ indexes other pairs.
Keep Temporary Help Services, FY2026, $309,475,114.34, and the 11,573-record industry extract together without mixing clocks. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a year with Temporary Help Services does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending yearlyTrend join. Temporary help is not residual business support (561499). Staffing and residual support stay on different Census keys.
How not to reuse $309,475,114.34
Eleven thousand five hundred seventy-three industry-extract award records describe 561320 across years, not a FY2026 temp-worker headcount. Temporary help is not residual business support (561499). Staffing and residual support stay on different Census keys. A reader who quotes 11,573 as unique companies in FY2026 has left the packet. A reader who treats 6.9% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer /industries/561320/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ if the live tables moved. Do not convert obligations into a named-staffing-firm list. Occupations filled are unpublished.
This snapshot holds $309,475,114.34 on the yearlyTrend row and 11,573 on the industry extract. /ties/ is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation. A reader who only quotes $309,475,114.34 without FY2026 and NAICS 561320 has dropped a join side.
Questions
- How much Temporary Help Services spending is obligated in FY2026?
- USAspending.gov lists $309,475,114.34 in Temporary Help Services (NAICS 561320) obligations for FY2026. That yearlyTrend amount is 6.9% of the industry's $4,493,493,947.21 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2026. Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Is $309,475,114.34 the entire Temporary Help Services USAspending total?
- No. NAICS 561320's extract-wide total is $4,493,493,947.21. FY2026 is 6.9% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/561320/ into this join. 11,573 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
- Is $309,475,114.34 cash already paid in FY2026?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $309,475,114.34 as checks already cleared in FY2026 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
- Does 11,573 awards mean 11,573 unique companies in FY2026?
- No. 11,573 is the industry-extract award-record count for Temporary Help Services, not unique vendors and not a FY2026 headcount. Modifications add rows. This packet names no contractors. Keep the extract count off the yearlyTrend clock. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 561320 in FY2026.
