That's a jurisdiction issue though. Of course, the underlying cause is that the US, unlike other countries, doesn't have a pay parity law for US-employed temps.
You know, it's funny, while reading this thread I've been trying to remember if we have any such laws in my country. Then I realized that it probably doesn't matter, because we have a law prohibiting employing temps unless it's absolutely critical, i.e. you must offer full time employment.
