ATLANTA, GA (July 28, 2010)  - Healthcare staffing companies generated $4.2 billion in sales in 2009, despite significant declines in revenue.  Atlanta-based Jackson Healthcare ranked fifth among the largest healthcare staffing companies, an improvement from its prior year ranking, and 28^th among all U.S. staffing companies.

According to a recently released report by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA), staffing revenues declined by 27 percent in 2009.  Only 92 companies broke the $100 million barrier, making it one of the worst years in the industry's history, according to SIA.

"We feel incredibly fortunate to continue serving the needs of hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers," said Bob Schlotman, chief marketing officer of Jackson Healthcare.

Jackson cites the organization's entrepreneurial culture, backed by aggressive goals and individual accountability, as playing a key role in the organization's continued presence on SIA's list.
