Need help to my game!

Hello, I am trying to create a little game where you start off as an employer and then you can buy better apartments and get promoted to different jobs but I don't see the problem here it doesn't compile correctly. Thanks in advance and if you have any better ways of creating the game or ideas that could essentially be in there you are more than welcome to put it down in the comments:D

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int main() {
    char name;
    int Jobs;
    cout << "Hello! Welcome to the economical game! First write your name: ";
    cin >> name;
    cout << "Hi " << name << ". You will start off as a employer, choose where you wanna work." << endl;
    cout << "These are your options: Ikea, Wallmart, Target, Blockbuster.(Case sensitive write the exact same)  " << endl;
    cin >> Jobs;
    if (Jobs == 'Ikea') {
        cout << "Congratiulations! You chose Ikea. Your daily pay is 100$ and your apartment bill is at 70 dollars a day." << endl;
    } else if (Jobs == 'Wallmart') {
        cout << "Congratiulations! You chose Wallmart. Your daily pay is 75$ and your apartment bill is at 60 dollars a day." << endl;
    } else if (Jobs == 'Target') {
        cout << "Congratiulations! You chose Target. Your daily pay is 65$ and your apartment bill is at 40 dollars a day." << endl;
    } else if (Jobs == 'Blockbuster') {
        cout << "Congratiulations! You chose Blockbuster. Your daily pay is 125$ and your apartment bill is at 90 dollars a day." << endl;
    }
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

A char can only hold a single char - like 'a' You better use a string. Same for Jobs.
Sth. like:

string name;
cout << "Hello! Welcome to the economical game! First write your name: ";
cin >> name;
cout << "Hi " << name << ". You will start off as a employer, choose where you wanna work." << endl;

cout << "These are your options: Ikea, Wallmart, Target, Blockbuster.(Case sensitive write the exact same)  " << endl;
string Jobs;
cin >> Jobs;

Be aware that >> will end at the first whitespace character so it might be better to use getline.

int Jobs;
The object named Jobs is an int. A number.

if (Jobs == 'Ikea')
Ikea isn't a number. This makes no sense.
