This dissertation argues that the rise of the Temporary Help Service (THS) industry represents a structural change in the political economy with regards to the utilization of labor. My investigation of the THS industry supports two theoretical suppositions of significance to International Political Economy (IPE) scholars. The first is that firms are playing an increasing role in the process of globalization. This dissertation demonstrates how changing labor practices introduced and proliferated by the THS industry extend elements of globalization like altering experiences of time and space and challenging traditional boundaries and categories. I interviewed owners and managers of THS firms in order to ascertain THS labor practices. I also analyzed the internal company newsletter of Manpower, Inc., the largest THS, firm in the world, in order to catalogue and assess THS business practices. My second theoretical contention is that global restructuring is a gendered process. Economic practices are changing at the same time that gender relations are changing. What is the relationship between these processes? In the case of the reorganization of labor, THS firms refer explicitly to the changing identities of women workers in order to position and sell their product. I analyzed 943 print advertisements produced by THS firms between 1980 and 1990 in order to assess how THS marketing strategies rely on gender narratives.
