Expansion Potential:

This broad territory provides access to a working population exceeding 128,600 across the 3-county area. With a temp staffing market size of $39 million (as of 2023), this area boasts a robust economy with a strong demand for staffing services.

This sizeable territory offers abundant opportunities with a working population of approximately 210,000 people including over 95,000 millennials (ages 25-39) in the greater Champaign-Urbana metropolitan area. Champaign County has experienced steady economic growth anchored by higher education, advanced manufacturing, agriculture technology, and healthcare. With a highly educated population and continuous influx of young professionals from the University of Illinois, one of the region's biggest strengths is its skilled, adaptable workforce.

Champaign County offers extensive business support through organizations like the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Corporation, and the Research Park at the University of Illinois. The area maintains a strong sense of community, with residents and businesses prioritizing support for local enterprises.

Illinois enjoys a diverse economy with an unemployment rate of 4.1% as of January 2025, reflecting stable conditions statewide. The University of Illinois and regional colleges produce thousands of new graduates annually, consistently feeding the local talent pipeline with qualified candidates across technical, professional, and skilled trades sectors.

Spherion offers dedicated support from franchise leadership to help business owners develop and execute a strategic plan that balances existing account management with growth strategies to expand the staffing franchise's footprint and achieve ownership goals.

Competition / Market:

While competition exists in Champaign County's staffing industry, the market remains highly fragmented with numerous smaller regional firms and independent operators maintaining single-digit market shares, leaving significant opportunity for an established Spherion franchise to capture additional market presence through superior service and brand recognition.

Staffing vendors play a critical role in supporting the area's diverse business ecosystem, from the University of Illinois' extensive operational needs to Caterpillar's manufacturing requirements and ADM's food processing operations. Most companies throughout the Champaign-Urbana-Savoy-Decatur corridor utilize multiple staffing suppliers to address their varied workforce demands, creating multiple entry points for quality service providers.
