What Makes Robert Half A Better Stock Than ManpowerGroup?
Zacks Investment Research | May 23, 2019 10:20PM ET
The staffing industry has been growing roughly two times faster than the economy on average since the end of the Great Recession. A strong U.S. economy and Trump’s business-friendly moves have been benefiting manufacturing as well as non-manufacturing sectors, which, in turn, are aiding the industry with additional hiring and wage increase.
Staffing firms are shifting toward employee-friendly, technology-based recruiting techniques like social media, mobile technology, artificial intelligence and big data. Also, technologies like cloud and blockchain offer more storage and safety to HR data. These trends are keeping demand for staffing services in good shape.
Given these promising developments across the industry, we are today discussing two staffing stocks — Robert Half International Inc. (NYSE:RHI) and ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE:MAN) — with market capitalization of $6.7 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively.
As both the stocks carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), we are using certain other parameters to give investors a better insight. You can see Original post
