                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND

                   ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                        AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations:

Third Quarter

Sales of services in the third quarter of 1995 totaled $698,453,000, an 
increase of 10.8% from the same period in 1994.  Modest growth in 
domestic sales, at less than 10% over the same period in 1994, 
reflected slowed economic conditions in the United States and 
management's continued challenging of low yielding, higher risk light 
industrial business.  International sales continued to grow at double 
digit rates, with the United Kingdom and French companies posting 
significant increases for the quarter.

Cost of services, consisting of payroll and related costs of employees 
assigned to customers, increased 9.9% in the third quarter as compared 
to the same period in 1994.  Average hourly wages and related costs 
increased almost 6% from 1994 due to inflation and a shift in business 
mix toward higher margin service lines.  

Gross profit of $142,485,000 was 14.4% higher than 1994 due to both 
increased volume and gross profit rates which, combined, averaged 20.4% 
compared to 19.8% in 1994.  This increased rate of gross profit was 
related principally to a greater mix of sales in higher margin service 
lines, such as office and technical.  Strong growth of international 
sales carrying higher gross profit rates also contributed to the 
overall increase in margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $111,125,000 in the 
third quarter, an increase of 16.9% over the same period in 1994.  As a 
percent of sales, the spending rate averaged 15.9%, or .8 percentage 
point over last year's third quarter. This increase resulted from 
expected growth in business activity, increased national advertising 
costs related to promoting the introduction of new customer products 
and services, inclusion of newly acquired operations, and continued 
aggressive investments in new service lines and programs, which promote 
and improve service quality and customer satisfaction.

Earnings before income taxes were $33,158,000, an increase of 6.6%, 
compared to pretax earnings of $31,119,000 for the same period in 1994.  
The pretax margin was 4.7%, a .2 percentage point decrease from the 
third quarter of 1994.  The increased rate of expense spending noted 
above was the principal reason for the decline in the return on pretax 
earnings.

Income taxes were 38.6% of pretax income, which was a .6 percentage 
point increase over the applicable tax rate for the third quarter of 
1994, due to reduced credits available from the U.S. targeted jobs tax 
credit program.  The program was discontinued effective January 1, 
1995.

Net earnings were $20,373,000 in the third quarter of 1995, an increase 
of 5.6% over the third quarter of 1994. Earnings per share were $.54 
compared to the $.51 in the same period last year.



Year-to-Date


Sales of services totaled $1,971,555,000 during the first nine months 
of 1995, an increase of 13.9% over 1994.  This increase reflects 
continued growth in the volume of domestic and especially international 
sales, particularly in Europe.  Sales of OK Personnel Holding SA in 
Switzerland (completed July, 1994) and The Wallace Law Registry, Inc. 
(purchased as of April, 1995) are included with 1995 sales.

Cost of services of $1,574,374,000 was 12.8% higher than last year, 
reflecting volume growth, acquisitions, modest inflationary increases 
in hourly payroll costs and a shift towards higher margin service 
lines.

Gross profit increased 18.2% in 1995 due to increased sales volume, 
acquisitions, and a rate of gross profit that averaged 20.1% for the 
first nine months of 1995 compared to the 19.4% rate of 1994.  This 
change reflects the increased mix of business in higher margin service 
lines such as office and technical, plus strong sales growth in 
international operations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $323,219,000 were 19.0% 
higher than last year, reflecting higher business activity, the 
acquisition of new businesses and investments in new programs.

Earnings before taxes were $80,470,000, an increase of 16.1% over 1994.  
These earnings averaged a pretax margin of 4.1%, or .1 percentage point 
improvement over 1994. Income taxes were 38.7% of pretax earnings and 
were .7 percentage point higher than last year's first nine months' 
income tax rate.  As explained above, the elimination of the U.S. 
targeted jobs tax credit, effective January 1, 1995, is the principal 
reason for this rate increase.

Net earnings were $49,295,000, or 14.8% higher than the first nine 
months of 1994.  Earnings per share were $1.30 compared to $1.13 last 
year.

Financial Condition

Assets totaled $693,227,000 at October 1, 1995, an increase of 8% over 
the $642,098,000 at January 1, 1995.  Working capital increased 
$5,208,000 during the nine-month period.  The current ratio was 2.4 at 
October 1, 1995, a decline of .1 percentage point since January 1.  
Increased business activity and capital expenditures, including the 
acquisition of The Wallace Law Registry, Inc. during the second quarter 
of 1995, accounted for the change.  Enhancements to automated systems 
in all branches continue to be made and were a major element of capital 
spending.

The quarterly dividend rate applicable to Class A and Class B common 
shares outstanding was $.20 per share in the third quarter of 1995.  
This compares to a dividend rate of $.18 per share in the third quarter 
of 1994.

Management believes the financial condition of the Company continues to 
be exceptionally strong, which enables it to fund working capital 
requirements and longer-term growth opportunities from internal 
resources.
