Semper Workforce Solutions Releases Q4 2023 Survey

Semper Workforce Solutions has released the results from their 2023 fourth quarter survey of the printing and packaging industries.

Dave Regan, Semper International Co-Founder, and CEO shared his perspective on this quarter’s responses. “It is a mixed bag for sure. We start off this new year uncertain of how this will impact our businesses and industry in the coming months. We believe that in these uncertain times the idea of flex staffing to bring in skilled workers on demand makes a lot of sense.”

The data collected for each survey represents several industry categories: commercial printing, packaging, display and large format graphics, apparel and decorating, and others. Critical to this report is a commitment from contributors to provide steady consistent quarterly data. Semper’s objective is to provide information that is a balanced mix of geography, revenue, and company types.

Q4 2023 survey highlights include:

• We see a slowdown in sales at the end of 2023. More firms reported sales as flat or decreasing, while the expenses have increased
• As consumer confidence grows in strength, CFO sense sales will remain soft
• 44% of respondents are looking to hire while the rest are holding
