They are a business and they are able to get you a job where otherwise you are having no success (once again not calling out anyone specifically, but stating in general terms).  Don't want to pay a fee? Go down to the state offices and try and find a job suited to your taste at the local job link with the rest of the underprivileged/unemployed. After one day there, I know you'd be singing a different tune about the temp agency getting a cut.

 Mine doesn't take a cut of my pay.  I get $X per hour, they charge the company I am at $Y per hour.  You could probably consider that a cut, but I"m getting exactly what I was promised.
And it's kind of funny but I got an email last week from my agency telling me that I have the opportunity to upgrade my insurance (still at full cost paid by them) because I'm a long term employee.
