Staffing Agencies will find you jobs

Typically an employer pays the staffing agency $2 for every $1 that you receive. However the staffing agency doesn't keep the difference, entirely.  Unless you are a true independent contractor, they withhold your taxes for you, pay workmans' compensation insurance, and 401k (if you qualify).

B E W A R E :
Exclusivity agreements are typical, in which you must agree not to take any other job through any other staffing agency.  If your staffing agency places you in a part-time or temporary position with a company, you will have to pay the agency if you take a full time job with that  employer. Sometimes, you have to agree that if you take any job while on the agency's roster, you owe them a percentage of your salary. Most of these agreements only stay in effect for a few months or a year.

Most "contract" job through these agencies are temporary but some can turn into permanent jobs. 

Qualifying as an independent contractor
1099 or W2?  It's complicated
