How much does temp work pay in Chicago?
I'm moving from NY to Chicago June 1, and I'm expecting to have to do temp work for a while to have some extra cash until I find a good job. Does anyone know how much temp work pays on average in Chicago? Careers & Employment - 4 Answers

It all depends on what you are qualified for. I am not in Chicago but I deal with a lot of temp services at my job here and they charge me about 50% more then what they would pay you. For example for an admin job (like filing, answering phones, general office stuff) I might pay like 15-18/ hour and they would get around 10-12. This is in the Philly area though

Five years ago I worked at the University of Chicago and I would hire temps for various offices when someone went on vacation or sick leave, etc. At that time a temp was paid anywhere from $12 - $15 per hour depending on what company I used. So I am sure the hourly pay is a little more now, five years later. Good Luck to you on your move and in finding a good job. ps - The University of Chicago pays very well and has very good benefits if you are moving closer to the South Side.

Brain surgery: $5,000.00 an hour. Fry line at McDonald's: $6.75 an hour. Being able to get the first job, when all you have are the skills for the second: Priceless!

This does depend on the job. Some temp jobs pay more than others.
