Man power or men power ? During the meeting with officials, my boss said that no man power now. what is it?

Question

what is man power ?

Answer 1

Man power is the number of men available to do some work, like drill a mine or solve a problem.  No man power means there are no men available right now so there's nothing you can do.

Answer 2

Man power is right. It means, suffecient employee is not available to do a particular job according to your lines. We may need to increase the man power (ie) no of emplyees to be increased to  finish the defined job.

Answer 3

Just do your job and don't pay attention to what meetings say.

Answer 4

To be politically correct it should be "staffing"

Just means how many people are available to do a task.

eg. If you were to host a large event you would need more manpower (not a very good example sorry)

Hope this helps :-)
