Staffing Industry Analysts, an independent global advisor on contingent work, recently released its annual list of Largest Education Staffing Firms in the United States, which included 11 education staffing firms with $10 million or more in annual revenue. Penmac Education Staffing, a division of Penmac that provides substitute teachers and staff to partner school districts, appears on the list for the second consecutive year, with revenues increasing 44% over the previous year.
Penmac CEO Tim Massey said of the announcement, “We are honored to be recognized by Staffing Industry Analysts as one of the largest education staffing firms in the United States. This achievement is a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our Penmac Education team, who for over a decade have led the way in providing high-quality substitute teachers and paraprofessionals to schools. It also reflects the unwavering support of our corporate team, whose collaboration ensures we continue to deliver exceptional service to the districts we serve. Together, we remain committed to placing people first and supporting the educational success of our communities.”
Penmac Education Staffing Executive Director David Steward added, “This recognition is a result of the work of many people who are committed to providing students with continued learning when a substitute is present. Our approach is founded in successful education practices and based on building quality relationships across all roles in the process. We are most proud that our growth is entirely organic, with none of it coming through purchasing other companies. We will continue to work with districts to develop solutions that work for them and ultimately serve their students and staff.”
Penmac was founded in 1988 with a focus on industrial and clerical staffing. The education division was launched in 2014, incorporating the historical success of the existing staffing organization with the expertise of veteran educators to create a distinctive service that ensures a quality substitute is in every classroom, every day. Today, Penmac Education Staffing partners with 30 districts in Missouri, Minnesota, and Arkansas.
The education staffing agencies on this year’s SIA report together made up 91% share of the market, producing $1.9 billion of education temp staffing revenue in the US in 2024. According to SIA research, education was one of the few staffing segments to see growth in 2024, increasing 7% last year and projected to rise 5% this year.
