Milwaukee's Manpower makes splash in Forbes

The May 22, 2006 edition of Forbes magazine features Milwaukee’s Manpower and strongly reinforces its position as a global workforce leader.

The Forbes story outlines how international companies are calling upon Manpower to answer their workforce needs.  As an example, France has become Manpower’s single biggest market “accounting for a third of its worldwide sales of $16 billion a year.”  Milwaukee’s Manpower’s reach cuts across the entire world but also impacts significantly within the continental United States as Honeywell contracted Manpower to “get the right backup workers in the right place and time to manage surge capacity at its plants and offices around the globe.”

Forbes states that “Manpower has an international pedigree far more impressive than many ‘global’ companies ensconced in Hong Kong or New York skyscrapers: 4,400 offices in 72 countries and territories means 84% of Manpower's revenues are earned abroad.”

The Forbes article describes Manpower India as “the clear leader in the Indian market in temporary workers for financial services, data processing and related services like call centers” and states that Manpower’s shares are recently up 185% while the S&P is flat during the same time period.
