ManpowerGroup Inc. is a publicly traded workforce solutions provider whose roots date to 1948, when Elmer Winter and Aaron Scheinfeld founded Manpower in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company helped establish the modern temporary-employment industry and has since expanded from basic staffing into a broad portfolio of labor-market, talent, and outsourced workforce services. Its common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MAN.
The company serves employers across multiple industries and geographic markets. Its offerings include temporary, contract, and permanent placement for administrative, industrial, professional, technical, and specialized roles. Through the Manpower brand, it commonly supports high-volume staffing and general workforce requirements. Experis focuses more heavily on professional and project-based talent, particularly in information technology, engineering, finance, and other areas where specialized skills are in demand. Talent Solutions provides broader services such as recruitment process outsourcing, workforce consulting, career transition, talent assessment, and managed workforce programs. The company has also offered contingent-workforce management and digital or IT infrastructure support through specialized operations and brands.
ManpowerGroup's operating model is primarily service-based rather than manufacturing-based. Consequently, its bill of materials is limited compared with an industrial producer: key cost inputs are employee wages and benefits, recruiter and branch personnel, technology platforms, office operations, marketing, compliance, insurance, and third-party service expenses. In staffing arrangements, the company generally bills clients for labor and service fees while paying wages to temporary or contract workers, making payroll funding, receivables collection, pricing discipline, and utilization important drivers of profitability. Permanent-placement and consulting work can carry different margins and working-capital characteristics from high-volume temporary staffing.
The company reports a global presence of approximately 2,200 offices across about 75 countries and territories and serves hundreds of thousands of clients. Its workforce was reported at approximately 25,400 full-time employees, excluding the much larger population of workers placed with clients. Jonas Prising serves as Chair and Chief Executive Officer and is recognized for expertise in labor markets and the future of work.
Based on the supplied trailing-twelve-month financial snapshot, ManpowerGroup had a market capitalization of approximately $2.63 billion, enterprise value of approximately $3.87 billion, revenue per share of roughly $399.96, net income per share of approximately $2.23, and a dividend of $1.44 per share. The same snapshot indicated relatively thin profitability, including a net profit margin near 0.6%, an EBIT margin near 1.9%, and an EBITDA margin near 2.3%. These characteristics reflect the competitive, cyclical, and labor-intensive nature of staffing services. Demand can be influenced by economic growth, employer hiring plans, unemployment levels, wage inflation, regulation, and the increasing use of automation and digital recruiting tools. ManpowerGroup's strategic objective is to help clients adapt to changing labor markets while improving employability, talent mobility, and workforce productivity.
