                   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 1995 was
19,838,623 and 19,829,130 shares, respectively.  For the third quarter
and nine months of 1994, 19,757,631 and 19,767,407 shares,
respectively, were used.

     During 1995 100,000 shares of common stock were issued upon the
exercise of a stock option granted under the Company s non-qualified
stock option and stock appreciation rights plan.  The issuance of 
these shares resulted in an increase in common stock of $10,000 and 
an increase in additional paid-in capital of $1,260,000.

                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, 1995 were 24% and 18% higher, respectively, compared to
the same period a year ago.  Operating profit for the nine months and
third quarter in 1995 was 3.6% and 2.3% of revenues, respectively,
compared to 3.5% and 4.2% for the nine months and third quarter in
1994.  

     Technical Services' revenues for the nine months and third quarter
of 1995 grew 24% and 18%, respectively, from last year's comparable
periods.  Operating profit margins for the nine months and third
quarter of 1995 were 3.4% and 1.7%, respectively, vs. 3.6% and 4.3% for
last year's comparable periods.  During the third quarter of 1995,
revenues in CDI's non-automotive Technical Services business were $235
million, up 31% from a year ago and up 9% from this year's second
quarter.  Operating profits in CDI's non-automotive Technical Services
business for the third quarter were $13.7 million, more than double
last year's $6.4 million and 54% better than this year's second
quarter.  The third quarter improvement in revenues reflects broad
based increases in the telecommunications, aircraft/aerospace,
electronics, and chemicals/petrochemicals sectors.  

     Offsetting these gains, revenues in CDI's automotive Technical
Services business for the third quarter of 1995 were $51.8 million,
down 19% from last year's third quarter and down 22% from this year's
second quarter.  Operating losses for the third quarter were $8.9
million, compared to operating profits of $4.0 million in last year's
third quarter and $3.5 million in this year's second quarter.  The
operating losses in the current quarter were primarily attributable to
operations in CDI's manufacturing technology division, which builds
prototypes and assembly tools for the automotive industry.  The easing
off of demand in the automotive sector, noted by CDI last quarter,
accelerated in the third quarter.  This slowdown was particularly sharp
in the manufacturing technology division, and had a disproportionately
large impact on profitability.  In addition, in light of the disruption
caused by a change in the management of this division in June, 1995 and
the division's subsequent experience during the third quarter, manage-
ment determined it would be appropriate to add approximately $3 million
to the subsidiary's receivables reserves.  These reserves represent
reductions in anticipated values of certain unbilled receivables and do
not relate to customers  inability to pay.  Unbilled accounts
receivables, net of reserves pertaining to automotive were $33 million
at September 30, 1995.  Improvements in demand are not expected in the
automotive sector in the fourth quarter.

     CDI has recently engaged an investment banker to assist the
Company in exploring strategic alternatives for dealing with the
manufacturing technology division and the automotive business in

                                                                     8



general.  Since the investment banker has only recently been engaged,
the Company has not attempted to determine the financial impact of any
strategic alternative.

     In addition, the losses in the automotive sector in the third
quarter resulted in an increase in CDI s effective income tax rate for
all of 1995.  This increase will result in a higher effective rate for  
1995 compared to 1994.  This increase had a particularly adverse impact
upon third quarter 1995 earnings because a lower effective rate for
1995 was anticipated in the first and second quarters of 1995.  

     Temporary Services' revenues for the nine months and third quarter
of 1995 were 15% and 17% higher, respectively, compared to the same
periods a year ago.  Operating profit margins for the nine months and   
third quarter of 1995 were 4.8% and 6.2%, respectively, vs. 3.5% and
4.2% for last year's comparable periods.  Growth has been particularly
strong in Todays Temporary s broader based outsource programs that it
has with a growing number of customers.

     Management Recruiters' revenues were up 32% for the nine months of
this year and up 19% compared to last year's third quarter.  Operating
profit margins for the nine months and third quarter of 1995 were 15.0%
and 14.8%, respectively, compared to 14.6% and 16.3%, respectively, for
the same periods in 1994.  The demand for services in Management
Recruiters traditional middle management search and recruiting business
as well as for its new product offerings initiated in recent years has
continued to be strong during 1995.

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

     The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.4 to 1 
as of September 30, 1995 compared to 2.3 to 1 as of December 31, 1994.  
The ratio of long-term debt to total capital (long-term debt plus
shareholders' equity) was 30% as of each of September 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994.  Working capital needs expanded during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 primarily as a result of the increased
volume of business conducted.  Funding for the increased investment in
working capital was provided, in part, by additional borrowings of
long-term debt.  The Company believes that capital resources available
from operations and financing arrangements are adequate to support the
Company's businesses.
