                   Comments to Financial Statements


     Earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common share 
equivalents, which arise from stock options, outstanding during the 
periods.  No further dilution resulted from a computation of fully
diluted earnings per share.  The number of shares used to compute
earnings per share for the third quarter and nine months of 1994 was
19,757,631 and 19,767,407 shares, respectively.  For the third quarter
and nine months of 1993, 19,727,088 and 19,724,683 shares,
respectively, were used.

segments of the Company for the third quarter and nine months ended

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                         Results of Operations
                         ---------------------

     Consolidated revenues for the nine months and quarter ended
September 30, 1994 were 17% and 24% higher, respectively, compared to
the same period a year ago.  Operating profit for the nine months and
third quarter in 1994 was 3.5% and 4.2% of revenues, respectively,
compared to 1.8% and 2.5% for the nine months and third quarter in
1993.  

     Technical Services' revenues for the nine months and third
quarter of 1994 grew 17% and 24%, respectively, from last year's
comparable periods.  Operating profit margins for the nine months and
third quarter of 1994 were 3.6% and 4.3%, respectively, vs. 2.1% and
2.8% for last year's comparable periods.  

     CDI's Technical Services, which accounts for approximately 85% of
consolidated revenues, is benefitting from the improvement in economic
conditions.  The continued growth in the use of outsourcing is also
helping current business.  The ability of CDI's customers to convert
fixed costs to variable costs and thus manage costs more effectively
continues to provide a long-term stimulus for business.  Although
business is good in many of the industrial sectors in which CDI
operates, performance in the automotive, computers, electronics and
telecommunications fields is especially strong compared with a year
ago.  Chemicals/petrochemicals, however, remain somewhat flat.

     CDI and its Technical Services' customers have begun to work more
closely together in a partnering mode, whereby CDI provides a broad
range of personnel requirements over a longer time horizon.

     Temporary Services' revenues for the nine months and third
quarter of 1994 were 8% and 10% higher, respectively, compared to the
same period a year ago.  Operating profit margins for the nine months
and third quarter of 1994 were 3.5% and 4.2%, respectively, vs. 1.6%
and 2.4% for last year's comparable periods.  The growing economy is
having a favorable impact in the Todays Temporary office and clerical
personnel business.

     Management Recruiters' revenues were up 54% for the nine months
of this year and up 66% compared to last year's third quarter. 
Operating profit margins for the nine months and third quarter of 1994
were 14.6% and 16.3%, respectively, compared to 12.4% and 14.9%,
respectively, for the same periods in 1993.

     The growing strength of the economy is also evident in CDI's
Management Recruiters.  For the first time in several years, companies
are actively expanding management to better accommodate both current
and anticipated business conditions.  In addition, new product
offerings, including recently introduced InterExec, a temporary middle
manager service, have produced increased revenues over and above
improvements in Management Recruiters' traditional middle management
search business.

                         Financial Condition
                         -------------------

     The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.4 to 1 
as of September 30, 1994 and 2.3 to 1 as of December 31, 1993.  The
ratio of long-term debt to total capital (long-term debt plus
shareholders' equity) was 34% as of September 30, 1994, compared to
35% at December 31, 1993.  The abnormally high cash balance on
December 31, 1993 was reduced early in 1994 coincident with the
repayment of $16 million of current debt that was outstanding on
December 31, 1993.  Working capital has increased in 1994 primarily as
a result of the higher levels of business at which the Company has
been operating.  The Company believes that capital resources available
from operations and financing arrangements are adequate to support the
Company's businesses.
