Manpower Makes Profit, Revenue Gains

Milwaukee’s Manpower Group reports higher quarterly profits and revenues, partially due to stronger currencies. The worldwide job staffing firm had a net income of almost 138-million dollars from July through September, up by eight and a half million from the same time last year. Stockholder earnings rose 17 cents a share to two-dollars and four-cents. Manpower’s revenues jumped by almost seven-and-a-half-percent to about five-point-five billion dollars. Business in Europe accounted for about two-thirds of Manpower’s most recent revenues. C-E-O Jonas Prising calls the results “solid.”
