ManPower

Following my search on Manpower.us, the most shocking discovery is how many job titles consist of assistant, technician, financial, or mention something dealing with assembly lines in them. It makes me question what values are held at a pedestal today and what is the hiring process for most of these companies. By observing these jobs, it seems to be that one either must have high quality math and science skills, or be willing to be taken advantage of and assist higher up employees. It did not surprised me to see how Madison offered the least amount of jobs due to it being a college town, and a city made up of many local and small businesses. Milwaukee, Wisconsin happened to offer more jobs than San Francisco did which did surprise me comparing the population sizes (San Francisco has about 250,000 more inhabitants). Many of San Francisco's jobs were across the board, but mainly consisted of titles that summed up to being an analyst, or technician. Milwaukee jobs which are available heavily related to shipping and receiving services and administrative assistants. Madison jobs comprised of mainly customer service opportunities. What I take away from these three comparisons is what this says of the city and the main opportunities available, and why it is that those careers are heavily showcased. Seeing how many jobs seeking technicians and administrators is extremely eye opening because it is easy to forget about the individuals behind the scenes who are running the companies and providing customers with satisfaction.
