Playboy Enterprises, Inc has projected a man 5-yr growth rate of 22.5%. Playboy Enterprises Inc.'s stock does not offer and yearly or quarterly dividends on their stock. In recent events, as such with all stocks, Playboy has felt the aftermath of the tragic events, but in better light has been able to overcome the dip in the economy and stabilize. Playboy projects for the earnings to rise over the next four to five years. On the other hand in the past there was a need to limit the employees to save money do to rising cost to maintain the proper working level of the company. When speaking about people that handle the computer aspect of Playboy, there are there are Six in Beverly Hills; 40 to 45 throughout Playboy Enterprises. When talking about basic employees, not skilled trade workers, the number rises to three hundred in six different west coast locations; almost 1,000 throughout Playboy Enterprises. When visiting the company's website, I located a place where there was a place to apply for a job, so there is a job market in the company. When discussing the competition for Playboy, there are the usual ones that people think of such a Hustler, Penthouse, and White House. On the other hand there are such businesses that deal in the same line of work as Playboy, and logically speaking this would take away from potential customers for Playboy, and then these places and sites could be labeled as a competitor.
