ManpowerGroup Inc. (MAN)

Staffing company, 25,400 FTE, offices in 70 countries. Read October 19, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 23, 2026. Ranked 12 of the 75 Industrials companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

A staffing and workforce solutions company whose filing states one full-time equivalent total by region and nothing by kind of work, so the whole workforce takes the employment services pattern.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 20% now, 28% at the end of 2027, 32% at the end of 2028, 33% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 33% desk work, 18% people work and 50% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 68% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 23% becomes checking a model's work and 8% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Headcount by filing year

As reported in each year's annual report, with the filing. A year marked not read had no figure the reading could take from the report's text.

Limits of this reading

• The headcount is a full-time equivalent count, recorded as such.
• The 485,000 workers the filing says it serves daily are the associates it places with clients, left out of the headcount under rule 8.
• The employment services pattern counts the workers staffing firms place as well as their own staff, so it describes the company's 25,400 employees only loosely.
• No U.S. share is stated.
