                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND

                   ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                        AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations:

Second Quarter

Sales of services in the second quarter of 1998 were $1.0 billion, an 
increase of 4.3% from the same period in 1997.  Sales growth was 
stronger in professional, technical and European operations, while U.S. 
office-administrative and electronic assembly sectors grew at a more 
modest rate.

Cost of services, consisting of payroll and related tax and benefit 
costs of employees assigned to customers, increased 4.3% in the second 
quarter as compared to the same period in 1997.  Direct wage costs have 
increased from 1997 at a rate somewhat higher than the general 
inflation rate, due to strong worldwide demand for labor.

Gross profit of $177.7 million was 4.5% higher than the second quarter 
of 1997, and gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 17.8% 
in 1998 from 17.7% in 1997.  The strong performance of the 
professional, technical and European businesses improved margins 
slightly.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $143.6 million in the 
second quarter, an increase of 4.3% over the same period in 1997.  
Expenses averaged 14.3% of sales in the second quarters of both 1998 
and 1997.  The moderate rate of growth of these expenses, which include 
year 2000 costs and the expenditures related to the information 
technology investment program, reflects the Company's commitment to 
expense control.  

Earnings from operations of $34.2 million were 5.2% greater than the 
second quarter of 1997.  Interest income (net) of $0.8 million 
increased significantly as compared to the second quarter of 1997 due 
to higher average cash and short-term investment balances. 

Earnings before income taxes were $35.0 million, an increase of 6.1%, 
compared to pretax earnings of $33.0 million for the same period in 
1997.  The pretax margin was 3.5% as compared to 3.4% in last year's 
second quarter.  Improved gross margins combined with effective expense 
management were the principal reasons for the improvement.  Income 
taxes were 41.0% of pretax income in the second quarters of 1998 and 
1997.

Net earnings were $20.6 million in the second quarter of 1998, an 
increase of 6.1% over the second quarter of 1997.  Basic and diluted 
earnings per share were $.54 compared to $.51 in the same period last 
year.

Year-to-Date

Sales of services totaled $2.0 billion during the first six months of 
1998, an increase of 6.5% over 1997.  This increase reflects modest 
growth in domestic sales and strong international sales. 

Cost of services of $1.6 billion was 6.7% higher than last year, 
reflecting volume growth and increases in payroll rates due to strong 
demand for labor worldwide.

Gross profit increased 5.9% in 1998 due to increased sales, but at 
lower gross profit rates.  The gross profit rate was 17.6% for the 
first six months of 1998 compared to 17.7% for 1997.  This decline 
reflects sales growth with large customers, not only in the United 
States but in international markets as well.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $286.7 million were 
6.2% higher than last year.  The spending rate was 14.6% of sales, 0.1 
percentage point below last year's rate.  Expenses included the 
information technology investment program and year 2000 related 
conversion costs.  Strong controls continue to be effective in managing 
expenses in proper relationship to sales growth.

Earnings before taxes were $60.5 million, an increase of 6.0% over 
1997.  These earnings averaged a pretax margin of 3.1% in the first six 
months of both 1998 and 1997.  Income taxes were 41.0% of pretax 
earnings in the first six months of 1998 and 1997.   

Net earnings were $35.7 million or 6.0% higher than the first six 
months of 1997.  Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.93 
compared to $.88 last year.  This was an increase of 5.7% over 1997.


Financial Condition

Assets totaled $1.0 billion at June 28, 1998, an increase of 3.6% over 
the $967.2 million at December 28, 1997.  Working capital was $363.1  
million, nearly the same as the end of 1997.  The current ratio was 1.9 
at June 28, 1998 and December 28, 1997. 

During the first six months of 1998, net cash from operating activities 
was $76.3 million, an increase of 4.5% over the comparable period in 
1997.  This increase resulted principally from an increase in net 
earnings, and depreciation and amortization.  Capital expenditures of 
$25.2 million in 1998 and $17.9 million in 1997 were principally for 
expanding and improving the worldwide branch network and developing new 
information systems.

The quarterly dividend rate applicable to Class A and Class B shares 
outstanding was $.23 per share in the second quarter of 1998.  This 
represents a 5% increase compared to a dividend rate of $.22 per share 
in the second quarter of 1997.

The Company's financial position continues to be strong.  This strength 
will allow it to continue to aggressively pursue growth opportunities, 
while supporting current operations.


New Accounting Standards

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), 
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," 
effective for 1998, establishes standards for reporting information 
about operating segments in annual financial statements and, beginning 
in 1999, requires reporting of selected information about operating 
segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders.  It also 
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and 
services, geographic areas, and major customers.  The Company will 
adopt SFAS 131 for its financial statements for the year ending 
January 3, 1999.  The Company has not completed its determination of 
the impact that the adoption of this new accounting standard will have 
on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.  

In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other 
Postretirement Benefits."  This Statement is effective for fiscal years 
beginning after December 15, 1997.  This Statement will not have an 
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, because the 
Company does not have a pension plan or other material postretirement 
benefits as covered by the Statement.  

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  
This Statement requires companies to record derivatives on the balance 
sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair value.  Gains or 
losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would 
be accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it 
qualifies for hedge accounting.  This Statement is effective for fiscal 
years beginning after June 15, 1999, with earlier adoption encouraged.  
This Statement will not have a material impact on the Company's 
consolidated financial statements.  The Company plans to adopt this 
Statement beginning in the 1999 fiscal year.

Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of 
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," was issued 
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in March 
1998.  This SOP provides guidance on accounting for the costs of 
computer software developed or obtained for internal use.  Effective 
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, this SOP requires 
capitalization of certain internal-use computer software costs.  The 
Company does not expect it to have a material impact on its 
consolidated financial statements.  The Company plans to adopt this 
Statement beginning in the 1999 fiscal year.

In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 
issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities."  
Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, with 
earlier application encouraged, this SOP provides guidance on the 
financial reporting of start-up costs and organization costs.  It 
requires start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as 
incurred.  This Statement is not expected to have a material impact on 
the Company's consolidated financial statements.  The Company will 
adopt this Statement beginning in the 1999 fiscal year.

                            KELLY SERVICES, INC.
                          SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

                     (As Amended and Restated by Action
                         of the Board of Directors)
                              (March 23, 1998)

Section 1 - Purposes.

     This KELLY SERVICES, INC. SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (the "Plan") 
provides for annual incentive compensation payable in cash to those key 
officers and employees of the Company or any affiliated entity, who, from 
time to time, may be selected for participation.  The Plan is intended to 
provide incentives and rewards for the contributions of such employees toward 
the successful achievement of the Company's financial and business goals 
established for the current year.

Section 2 - Administration.

     The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the 
Board of Directors.  The Committee shall have authority to make rules and 
adopt administrative procedures in connection with the Plan and shall have 
discretion to provide for situations or conditions not specifically provided 
for herein consistent with the overall purposes of the Plan.

Section 3 - Selection of Participants.

     The Committee may delegate to the chief executive officer of the 
Company, if also a director, its authority to select those key officers and 
employees entitled to participate under the Plan each year.  Approval of 
eligible participants may be made at any time during each award year.

Section 4 - Establishing Performance Objectives.

     The Committee annually, during the first quarter of the year, shall 
establish one or more performance objectives which may consist of 
quantitatively measurable performance standards or qualitative performance 
standards, the achievement of which requires subjective assessment, or both. 
With respect to those senior executive officers determined by the Committee 
most likely to be named in the Summary Compensation Table of the Company's 
proxy statement for the following year's Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the 
"Named Officers"), the Committee shall apply the special provisions of 
Section 7.

Section 5 - Establishing Target Awards.

     During the first quarter of each year the Committee shall establish a 
target award, expressed as a percentage of eligible salary for that year 
(annual base salary, excluding pay for disability, overtime, bonuses, sick 
pay and other reimbursements and allowances), for each officer or other 
employee selected to participate under the Plan.  Individual participants may 
earn an award payout ranging from zero percent to the maximum percent of 
their target award that the Committee may set in place from time to time.  
The Committee shall also specify what portion of the target award, if any, is 
based on the achievement of the Company performance objective(s) and what 
<PAGE>
                                   <PAGE>
                                     -2-

portion or portions are based on the achievement of other objectives.  The 
Committee will establish an award payout schedule based upon the extent to 
which the Company performance objective (or objectives) is or is not achieved 
or exceeded.

Section 6 - Determining Final Awards.

     The Committee shall have discretion to adjust final awards up or down 
from the target award depending on (a) the extent to which the Company 
performance objective(s) is either exceeded or not met, and (b) the extent to 
which other objectives, e.g. subsidiary, division, department, unit or other 
performance objectives are attained.  The Committee shall have full 
discretion to make other adjustments in final awards based on individual 
performance as it considers appropriate in the circumstances.

Section 7 - Special Provisions Applicable to the Named Officers.

     During the first quarter of each year the Committee shall consider the 
establishment of a Plan target award, expressed as a percentage of eligible 
salary, for each of the Named Officers.

     The Committee shall next establish objective performance standards for 
the corporate and/or divisional/departmental portions of the awards, and 
determine what percentage of the target award, if any, will be based on each 
such objective performance standard.

     The Committee will select one or a combination of the following as 
objective performance standards:  pre-tax or after tax corporate earnings for 
the year or the equivalent of such amounts in basic or diluted earnings per 
share, sales, gross profit, earnings from operations, net operating profit 
after taxes above the cost of capital, market share, customer satisfaction, 
quality metrics, shareholder value and return on assets, investment or 
equity.

     The Committee shall also specify during the first quarter which, if any, 
types or categories of extraordinary, unusual, non-recurring or other items 
of gain or loss shall be excluded or otherwise not taken into account when 
actual corporate or divisional/departmental results are calculated.

     The Committee will finally establish an award payout schedule based upon 
the extent to which the objective performance standard(s) is or is not 
achieved or exceeded.  The Committee retains the right in its discretion to 
reduce an award based on Company, divisional/departmental or individual 
performance, but will have no discretion to increase any award so calculated.

     In addition to awards based on quantitatively determinable performance 
standards, the Committee may, in its discretion and acting in the best 
interests of the Company, set one or more other incentive goals for a portion 
or all of a Named Officer's Plan award, the achievement of which need not be 
quantitatively determinable but, instead, may require subjective assessments 
of the quality of performance to which the goals relate ("qualitative 
performance standards").  If a qualitative performance standard is 
established with respect to a Named Officer's Plan target award, the 
Committee shall specify at the time of the award what percentage of the total 
award will be based on that objective.  The Committee will, however, have 
<PAGE>
                                   <PAGE>
                                     -3-

discretion to increase or decrease that portion of an award which does not 
qualify for the performance-based exclusion from the Section 162(m) cap on 
compensation deductibility.

     In no event shall the total annual Plan award to a Named Officer, 
including the non-performance-based portion, exceed $2,000,000 a year.

Section 8 - Time of Distribution.

     Distribution of awards shall be made in one or more installments, as the 
Committee shall determine.  When made in one installment, distribution of the 
award shall be made as soon as practicable following the close of the year 
for which earned.  If an award is less than $3,000, the full amount of the 
award shall be paid in the year following the award year.

Section 9 - Forfeiture.

     Until such time as the full amount of an award has been paid, a 
participant's right to receive any unpaid amount shall be wholly contingent 
and shall be forfeited if, prior to payment, the participant is no longer in 
the employ of the Company, provided, however, that the Committee may in its 
discretion waive such condition of continued employment.  It shall be an 
overriding precondition to the payment of any award (a) that the participant 
not engage in any activity that, in the opinion of the Committee, is in 
competition with any activity of the Company or any affiliated entity or 
otherwise inimical to the best interests of the Company and (b) that the 
participant furnish the Committee with all such information confirming 
satisfaction of the foregoing condition as the Committee shall reasonably 
request.  If the Committee makes a determination that a participant has 
engaged in any such competitive or otherwise inimical activity, such 
determination shall operate to immediately cancel all then unpaid award 
amounts.

Section 10 - Death.

     Any award remaining unpaid, in whole or in part, at the death of a 
participant shall be paid to the participant's legal representative or to a 
beneficiary designated by the participant in accord with rules established by 
the Committee.

Section 11 - No Right to Employment or Award.

     No person shall have any claim or right to receive an award, and 
selection to participate in the Plan shall not confer upon any employee a 
right with respect to continued employment by the Company.  Further the 
Company and each affiliated entity reaffirms its at-will relationship with 
its employees and expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss a 
participant free from any liability or claim, except as provided under this 
Plan.

Section 12 - Amendment or Termination.

     The term of the performance-based annual incentive criteria under 
Section 7 of the Plan, assuming approval by stockholders, will be five Plan 
years, 1998 through 2002, unless sooner terminated or amended by the Board.

     The Board of Directors of the Company reserves the right at any time to 
make any changes in the Plan as it may consider desirable or may discontinue 
or terminate the Plan at any time, except that Section 7 cannot be changed in 
anyway which would violate IRS regulations under Internal Revenue Code 
Section 162(m) without stockholder approval.
