Employment company offers cures for economic blues

LaborWorks owner and CEO Scott Sabo says business is going strong. That’s good news during hard times — especially in the employment arena.
The company, which has its corporate office in Gig Harbor, was recently named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country for the second consecutive year.
LaborWorks has expanded to 15 locations in Washington since opening its first branch in 1998. The corporate office opened the following year. The company matches workers with employers in a variety of fields, including general labor, construction, landscaping, warehousing and assembly.
Workers can choose either daily or weekly pay and are provided with both safety equipment and training.
“It’s never a dull moment,” Sabo said. “We do everything from moving scientists around the Microsoft campus to unloading fishing boats. We help supply the Puyallup Fair and clean the stadiums at Qwest and Safeco fields.”
The sports venues use LaborWorks because they can’t afford to keep people on a permanent payroll round-the-clock. But when they do need people, they need a lot of them.
