A recent article titled, "Staffing 2014: Next Year's Hiring Supermodels" predicts continued prospects of growth in profitable niches with staffing firms that provide just-in-time labor at an unprecedented level of service, leading the way. The article goes on to quote, "Temporary employment is near a historic high in terms of penetration of the labor market" and states, "Employment in temporary help services reached 2.7 million in July 2013, up by 170,000 from a year earlier and nearly a million higher than in 2009, according to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

This last year proved to be an important stepping stone in validating the success of our strategic business model with our ability to show exponential growth, asset accumulation and increased gross margins. Our model also shows that as our business scales, profitability scales with it, which we feel will eventually turn into positive net income as we continue to mature and obtain additional critical mass." He also stated, "Our 2014 strategic growth plans are already being implemented, as we anticipate a fast start for Labor SMART in the new year, with continued exponential growth and greater market penetration.
