My initial search on Manpower was for Madison. There were 13 jobs available, but few were permanent. It looked like the most skilled job was for an auditor. There were quite a few warehouse and assembly jobs as well. Most of the jobs were contract jobs as well. Some of these jobs seem like decent employment opportunities.
Next I looked up jobs in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. There were only 9 jobs available and not were permanent. One was for an accounting position, but the others didn't require many technical, or educational skills. Not many of these jobs looks like good employment opportunities to me.
The third city I looked up was New York City. There were 31 jobs available there. I had expected there to be more given the size of NYC. These jobs were a mix of permanent and temporary jobs. The majority of the jobs seemed to be for administrative assistants. There were several jobs in finance and accounting as well. A fair amount of these jobs looked like quality opportunities and required some technical knowledge.
Manpower is a very convenient tool for both employees and employers. It seems like it is mostly used for temporary work, but there are some opportunities for permanent employment. It also seems like the majority are jobs that don't a huge degree of technical knowledge.
I found the same results as far as jobs being mostly temporary/contract positions. The most skilled jobs often did not need a bachelor's degree but it was strongly recommended. I feel like manpower is very similar to a locate staffing organization that puts people in a temporary job.
