                   Comments to Financial Statements


     Earnings used to calculate both basic and diluted earnings per
share are the reported earnings in the Company's consolidated statement
of earnings.  Because of the Company's capital structure, all reported
earnings pertain to common shareholders and no other assumed adjust-
ments are necessary.  The number of common shares used to calculate
basic and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was determined as follows:

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company made a
number of acquisitions in which it invested $20,248,000.  These
acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method.  Assets
acquired totalled approximately $22 million including $19 million of
goodwill.  These acquisitions did not have a significant effect on the
results of operations for the six months and quarter ended June 30,
1998.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, there were 500 shares of
common stock issued upon the exercise of a stock option granted under
the Company's non-qualified stock option and stock appreciation rights
plan.  As a result of the option exercise, additional paid-in capital
was increased by $13,000.

     During 1997 shares of restricted common stock were issued to
certain officers of the Company under their employment agreements.  
A portion of these shares will vest over time and the remainder will
vest depending upon the percentage achievement of predetermined goals. 
The shares that will vest over time have a fixed value based upon the
market value of the shares when they were issued.  The value for the
shares that vest based upon performance will fluctuate with changes in
their market value until there is a determination as to their vesting.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, 5,469 of these
restricted shares vested and 531 shares related to performance-based
vesting did not vest and were forfeited.  The vesting of the shares
resulted in additional paid-in capital increasing by $11,000 because of
income tax benefits related to the vesting.  The forfeited shares were

put in treasury increasing treasury stock by $25,000 and decreasing
unamortized value of restricted stock issued by the same amount.  Also 
during the six months ended June 30, 1998, additional paid-in capital
and unamortized value of restricted stock issued were each decreased by
$367,000 for market price changes related to the shares that will vest
based upon performance.  In addition, unamortized value of restricted
stock issued was decreased by $76,000 for charges to earnings associated
with the amortization of the value of the restricted shares.

    Through December 31, 1997 a reserve was established for estimated
costs and losses associated with the disposition of certain divisions of
a subsidiary serving the automotive industry that have been classified
as discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements. 
Charges against the reserve during the six months ended June 30, 1998
totaled $3.3 million and were for items that corresponded to those
considered in establishing the reserve.  The net assets of discontinued
operations as of June 30, 1998 were comprised of working capital, fixed
assets and deferred income taxes comparable in composition to December
31, 1997.  The remaining wind-down and liquidation of the discontinued
operations will be completed in 1998.  

     The financial statements included in this report are unaudited  and
reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. 
All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

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

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

     Consolidated revenues for the six months and quarter ended June 30,
1998 were 4% and 3% higher, respectively, compared to the same periods a
year ago.  Operating profits for the six months and second quarter of
1998 decreased from the comparable periods of 1997 and included
restructuring costs and other non-recurring charges reflected in the
second quarter and related to Technical Services totaling $2.3 million. 
Technical Services and Information Technology Services operating profit
in 1998 was down from 1997 while operating profit for Temporary Services
and Management Recruiters increased.  Operating profit for the six
months and second quarter in 1998 was 4.4% and 4.1% of revenues,
respectively, compared to 5.4% and 5.6% for the six months and second
quarter in 1997.

     Technical Services' revenues for the six months and second quarter
of 1998 declined 2% and 3%, respectively, from last year s comparable
periods.  1997 results included revenues from non-strategic businesses 
<PAGE>
                                                                      9


divested in the third quarter of 1997.  Excluding these revenues, six
months revenues for Technical Services increased 3% and second quarter
revenues increased 1%.  Operating profit for Technical Services in 1998
decreased from 1997 and included restructuring costs and other 
non-recurring charges of $2.3 million reflected in the second quarter of
1998.  Operating profit margins for the six months and second quarter of
1998 were 3.2% and 2.5% of revenue, respectively, compared to 4.6% and
4.5% for the six months and second quarter in 1997.  (The non-strategic
businesses did not have a material impact on margins in 1997).  Of the
total $2.3 million in non-recurring charges, restructuring costs were
$1.4 million and were associated with realigning Technical Services'
operations.  The restructuring costs included separation costs of
$500,000 for personnel in order to reduce future overhead support costs
and $900,000 for the disposition of leasehold obligations for real
estate no longer needed in the engineering business.  The remaining
$900,000 for non-recurring charges relate to healthcare costs associated
with a self-insured program which has been replaced with an indemnity
program and vacation pay costs resulting from the institution of a new
compensation program.  Approximately one-third of these costs and
charges were incurred by June 30, 1998.  Technical Services in 1998 was
impacted by lower revenues and operating profit in its engineering
business which is primarily focused on the petrochemical sector.  This
weakness had started to become evident early in 1997 and became more
pronounced as the year progressed.  The support cost structure related
to technical staffing was higher in 1998 reflecting additional capacity
put in place starting in 1997 to service existing and expected demand
from customers.

     Information Technology Services' revenues were up 12% for the six
months of this year and up 10% compared to last year's second quarter. 
Operating profit decreased in 1998 compared to 1997.  Operating profit
margins for the six months and second quarter of 1998 were each 6.3%
compared to 7.5% and 7.7%, respectively, for the same periods in 1997. 
This segment also increased its support cost structure during 1997 to
service existing and expected demand from customers.  Revenue growth in
1998 did not keep pace with the additional support cost structure put
into place starting in 1997.

     Temporary Services' revenues for the six months and second quarter
of 1998 were 14% and 13% higher, respectively, compared to the same
periods a year ago.  Operating profit increased in 1998 compared to
1997.  Operating profit margins for the six months and second quarter of
1998 were 5.7% and 6.2%, respectively, vs. 5.5% and 5.8%, respectively,
for the same periods in 1997.  Demand for office/clerical services
continued to be strong and Temporary Services has benefitted from its
targeted expansion of services for legal and financial temporary
staffing.

     Management Recruiters' revenues were up 22% for the six months of
this year and up 17% compared to last year s second quarter.  Operating
profit increased in 1998 compared to 1997.  Operating profit margins for
the six months and second quarter of 1998 were 20.3% and 21.2%,
respectively, compared to 17.4% and 19.3%, respectively, for the same
periods in 1997.  The market has remained strong for Management
Recruiters' middle management search and recruiting services.

     The wind-down and liquidation of the discontinued operations is
continuing and will be completed in 1998.  Costs and losses incurred
during the six months ended June 30, 1998 of $3.3 million were charged
against a reserve for discontinued operations established through
December 31, 1997 for such costs and losses.

     Interest expense in 1998 was lower than in 1997 because of lower
levels of debt outstanding.

     The Company continues to pursue modifications to existing software
and converting to new software in addressing the potential for software
failures due to processing errors arising from calculations using the
Year 2000 date.  There has been no change in the Company's assessment of
its risks associated with this issue from that described in its report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

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

     The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.3 to 1 
as of June 30, 1998 and 2.4 to 1 as of December 31, 1997.  The ratio of
long-term debt to total capital (long-term debt plus shareholders'
equity) was 12% as of June 30, 1998.  No long-term debt was outstanding
as of December 31, 1997.  

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company made a
number of acquisitions in which it invested $20,248,000.  These
acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method.  Assets
acquired totalled approximately $22 million including $19 million of
goodwill.  These acquisitions did not have a significant effect on the
results of operations for the six months and quarter ended June 30,
1998.

     The Company announced on August 3, 1998 that it has initiated a
program to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding common stock over a
one-year period.  The repurchases can be made from time to time
depending upon the share price of the stock through open market
purchases and through privately negotiated transactions.

     The Company believes that capital resources available from
operations and financing arrangements are adequate to support the
Company's businesses.

                       New Accounting Standards
                       ------------------------

     The Company has adopted Statement of Position 98-1, Accounting for
the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. 
The amount of cost capitalized has not been significant.

     In June, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued

Item 5.  Other Information

     The form of proxy which the Company will distribute to its share-
holders in connection with the 1999 annual meeting of shareholders is
expected to confer discretionary authority to vote on matters that may
properly come before the meeting provided that the Company does not
receive notice of the matter by February 18, 1999.  Therefore,

shareholders should be aware that if a shareholder fails to notify the
Company by February 18, 1999 that he or she wishes to present a proposal
at the 1999 annual meeting, the management proxies will be allowed to
use their discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at
the meeting, without any discussion of the mater in the proxy statement. 
As indicated in the Company's 1998 proxy statement, any shareholder who
wishes to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company's 1999 proxy
statement must submit the proposal to the Company at its principal
executive offices no later than December 3, 1998 and must comply in all
other respects with applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission relating to such inclusion.
