PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
(a) General Development of Business. Registrant, a successor to the
business established by William R. Kelly in 1946, was incorporated under the
laws of Delaware on August 27, 1952. Throughout its existence, registrant has
been engaged in the business of providing staffing services to customers.
During the last fiscal year, registrant continued to provide staffing services
to a diversified group of customers.
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments. The Company divides
its operations into three segments: (1) U.S. Commercial Staffing, (2)
Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) and (3)
International. PTSA includes the following: Kelly Scientific Resources, Kelly
Engineering Services, Information Technology Resources, Kelly Assisted Living
Services, Inc., The Law Registry (formerly The Wallace Law Registry), Kelly
Staff Leasing, Inc., National Payroll Services and Kelly Management Services.
The financial information concerning registrant is included in Item 8 in Part
II of this filing.
(c) Narrative Description of Business.
(i) Principal Services Rendered. Registrant, and its subsidiaries,
which are service organizations, provide staffing services to a diversified
group of customers through offices located in major cities of the United
States, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Puerto Rico, Russia,
Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. These services are generally
furnished under the name of Kelly Services. U. S. Commercial Staffing includes
primarily office clerical, marketing and semi-skilled light industrial
services. PTSA includes technical skills related to engineering, information
technology, scientific, accounting and finance, and management services. Staff
leasing services are provided under the name of Kelly Staff Leasing, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of registrant. Home care services to those who need
help with their daily living needs and personal care are furnished under the
name of Kelly Assisted Living Services, Inc., which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of registrant. Legal staffing services are provided under the name
of The Law Registry (formerly The Wallace Law Registry), a wholly owned
subsidiary of registrant. Registrant performs these staffing services through
its employees by assigning them to work on the premises of registrant's
customers.
The staffing services furnished by registrant afford economies and
flexibility in meeting uneven or peak work loads caused by such predictable
factors as vacations, inventories, month-end activities, special projects or
new promotions and such non-predictable factors as illnesses or emergencies.
When work peaks occur which cannot be handled by the customer's normal staff,
the customer can temporarily supplement regular personnel by the use of
registrant's services. The cost and inconvenience to the customer of hiring
additional employees, including advertising, interviewing, screening, testing
and training are eliminated. Also, recordkeeping is simplified because the
customer pays an hourly rate, based on hours of service furnished by
registrant.

-3-
Registrant serves a wide cross-section of customers from industry,
commerce, the professions, government, and individuals. During recent years
approximately 190,000 customers, including the largest corporations in the
world, use registrant's services. There have been no significant changes in
the services rendered or in the markets or methods of distribution since the
beginning of registrant's fiscal year.
Registrant operates through approximately 1,500 domestic and foreign
offices located in all 50 states and the District of Columbia; and Australia,
Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico,
the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Puerto Rico, Russia, Spain, Switzerland
and the United Kingdom. Each office provides the services of one or more of
the divisions or subsidiaries and are operated directly by the registrant.
(ii) New Services. There are no new industry segments that the
registrant is planning to enter or new service areas that will require a
material investment of assets.
(iii) Raw Materials. Registrant is involved in a service business and
raw materials are nonexistent in the business.
(iv) Service Marks. Registrant is the owner of numerous service marks,
which are registered with the United States Patent and Trade Mark Office and in
foreign countries.
(v) Seasonal Business Implications. Registrant's business is not
seasonal.
(vi) Working Capital. Registrant believes there are no unusual or
special working capital requirements in the staffing services industry.
(vii) Customers. The business of registrant and its subsidiaries is not
dependent upon either a single customer or a limited number of customers.
(viii) Backlog. Backlog of orders is not material to the business of
registrant.
(ix) Government Contracts. Although registrant conducts business under
various government contracts, that portion of registrant's business is not
significant.
(x) Competition. Registrant is one of the largest global suppliers of
staffing services. In the United States, there are less than 100 national
competitors, and approximately 20,000 organizations locally compete in varying
degrees in different localities where registrant operates local offices. In
foreign markets there are several similar levels of global, national and local
competitors. The most significant competitive factors worldwide are geographic
coverage, breadth of service, service quality and price.
(xi) Research Activities. Registrant's expenditure for research and the
number of people involved are not material.
(xii) Environmental Matters. Registrant is involved in a service
business and is not generally affected by federal, state and local provisions
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment.
<PAGE>

(xiii) Employees. Registrant and subsidiaries employ on a full time basis
approximately 1,200 persons at its headquarters in Troy, Michigan, and
approximately 6,000 persons in branch offices operated directly by registrant.
Registrant employed in the last fiscal year approximately 740,000 men and women
for temporary periods. As the employer of its temporary work force, registrant
is responsible for and pays Social Security (or its equivalent outside the
United States), Medicare and health care taxes, workers' compensation,
unemployment compensation taxes, liability insurance and other similar costs,
and is responsible for payroll deductions of Social Security, Medicare and
income taxes. Although the services may be provided in the office of the
registrant's customer, registrant remains the employer of its temporary
employees with responsibility for their assignment and reassignment.
(d) Foreign Operations. For information regarding sales, earnings from
operations and long-lived assets by domestic and foreign operations, reference
is made to the information presented in the Segment Disclosures note to the
consolidated financial statements presented in Item 8 in Part II of this
report.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Registrant owns the premises in Troy, Michigan, from which its
headquarters, subsidiaries and divisional offices are presently operated.
Registrant purchased the original headquarters building in Troy, Michigan, in
1977 and has expanded operations into adjacent buildings that were purchased in
1991 and 1997. The combined usable floor space for the headquarters complex
approximates 230,000 square feet, plus leased space nearby of 93,000 square
feet. The buildings are in good condition, are considered to be adequate for
the uses to which they are being put and are in regular use. In addition,
registrant owns vacant land in Troy and northern Oakland County, Michigan, for
future expansion. Registrant's branch offices are conducted from premises
which are leased. A majority of the leases are for fixed terms, from one to
five years. Registrant owns virtually all office furniture and equipment used
in its headquarters building and branch offices.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Claims against the registrant are not considered by management and counsel
to be material.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders in the
fourth quarter of 1998.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Results of Operations
1998 versus 1997
Sales for the 53 week fiscal year reached a record $4.09 billion in 1998,
an increase of 6% compared to the $3.85 billion for the 52 week fiscal year in
1997. On a 52 week basis, sales increased 5% over 1997. Sales in the U.S.
Commercial Staffing segment grew by 3%, while Professional, Technical and
Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) sales grew by 8% compared to last year.
International sales grew by 13% as compared to 1997. International sales
represented 24% of total Company sales in 1998, as compared to 22% in 1997.
The 1998 gross profit rate averaged 17.9% versus 17.7% in 1997. The
improvement was principally related to an increased mix of fee-based permanent
placement income and an increase in the share of our international business as
a percentage of total revenue. The international component carries a higher
average gross profit rate than domestic commercial staffing.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-7-
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8% over 1997.
Expenses expressed as a percentage of sales were 14.4% as compared to 14.2%
last year. The rate of growth of expenses principally reflects increased
spending for the year 2000 and information technology programs.
Earnings from operations totaled $140.6 million, a 4% increase from the
$135.8 million reported last year. Earnings were 3.4% of sales as compared to
3.5% in 1997.
Interest income was $6.2 million, 41% higher than last year. Interest
expense totaled $3.2 million, virtually unchanged from 1997. The increase in
investment return related to an improved cash and investment position as
compared to 1997.
Earnings before income taxes were a record $144 million, a 5% increase
over 1997. As a percentage of sales, earnings before taxes were 3.5% compared
to 3.6% in 1997. The effective income tax rate was 41.0% in both 1998 and
1997.
Net earnings totaled a record $84.7 million in 1998, a 5% increase over
1997. The rate of return on sales was 2.1%, consistent with last year's 2.1%
rate. Basic earnings per share were $2.24 or 6% over last. year. Diluted
earnings per share were $2.23 or 5% higher than 1997.
Results of Operations
1997 versus 1996
Sales totaled $3.85 billion in 1997, an increase of 17% over 1996. U.S.
Commercial Staffing sales totaled $2.45 billion, reflecting 13% growth over
1996. PTSA sales were $546 million in 1997, a 31% increase over the prior
year. International sales totaled $855 million and grew 20% as compared to
1996.
Cost of services, representing payroll and related taxes and benefits for
temporary employees, increased 18%. Increases in pay rates and related taxes
and benefits accounted for the change. Gross profit rates held steady through
all four quarters of 1997 and averaged 17.7%. Gross profit rates in 1996
averaged 18.6%. While generally higher than 1997, the 1996 rates were
declining through much of that year. As in 1996, reduced margins on large
contracts and other competitive conditions worldwide were factors in the
reduced level of gross profit.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11% over 1996.
The increase reflects continued worldwide expansion including the cost of
opening new offices in international locations. As a percentage of sales,
expenses decreased for the second consecutive year and reached 14.2%, down
from 14.9% in 1996.
Earnings from operations in 1997 were $136 million, an increase of 12%
over 1996. These earnings were 3.5% of sales, compared to 3.7% in 1996.
Interest income was $4.4 million in 1997, an increase of 4% over 1996.
An improved cash and investments position during the year which resulted from
improved collections of accounts receivable contributed to the increase.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Interest expense increased to $3.2 million from $2.2 million in 1996.
Short-term borrowings were used to finance continued business expansion in
Europe.
Earnings before income taxes were $137 million, an increase of 11% over
1996. As a percentage of sales, earnings before taxes were 3.6% in 1997 and
3.7% in 1996. The effective income tax rate was 41.0% in 1997 and 40.6% in
1996.
Net earnings totaled $80.8 million in 1997, 11% higher than the $73.0
million reported in 1996. The rate of return on sales was 2.1% in 1997 and
2.2% in 1996. Basic earnings per share were $2.12 compared to $1.92 per share
in 1996. Diluted earnings per share were $2.12 in 1997 compared to $1.91 per
share in 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and short-term investments totaled $72 million at the end of 1998,
down from the $144 million at year-end 1997. The decrease was principally due
to the $76 million utilized for the share repurchase program completed during
the fourth quarter of 1998. Two negotiated share repurchase transactions were
completed with the William Russell Kelly Trust and 2.5 million Kelly Class A
shares were repurchased. This amounted to 6.5% of the then total outstanding
common shares and was accretive to earnings per share during the fourth
quarter of 1998.
Accounts receivable totaled $585 million at year end as compared to $572
million at year-end 1997. Strong accounts receivable management during the
year reduced global days sales outstanding to 53 days, down from 54 days in
1997.
Short-term debt totaled $48 million, a decrease from $55 million at year-
end 1997. During the fourth quarter the Company arranged a committed $100
million five-year multi-currency revolving credit facility. All short-term
borrowings are foreign currency denominated and support the Company's
international working capital position.
The Company's working capital position was $293 million at the end of
1998, a decrease of $70 million from 1997 and $43 million from 1996. The
current ratio in 1998 was 1.7, 1.9 in 1997 and 2.0 in 1996. The current year
decline was principally a result of the cash utilized in the share repurchase
program.
Assets totaled $964 million in 1998, virtually unchanged from 1997. In
1996 assets totaled $839 million. The return on average assets was 8.8% in
1998 and 8.9% in 1997. In 1996 the return was 9.4%.
Stockholders' equity was $538 million in 1998, which was 4% below 1997.
In 1997 stockholders' equity grew 8% over 1996. The return on average
stockholders' equity was 15.4% in 1998, 15.0% in 1997 and 14.7% in 1996.
Dividends paid per common share were $.91 in 1998, an increase of 5% over
1997. Dividends in 1997 were $.87 per share, also 5% more than 1996.
The Company's financial position remains very strong. The Company
continues to carry no long-term debt and expects to meet its growth
requirements principally through cash flow from operations.

Year 2000 Systems Update
The year 2000 problem is an issue regarding computer programs and
non-information technology systems that use embedded computer chips such as
microcontrollers. Many of these programs are unable to distinguish between a
year that begins with "20" instead of the familiar "19" and therefore could
fail or produce incorrect results.
In 1995, the Company embarked upon a global Year 2000 Project. The
project scope includes hardware, software and embedded chip technology. A
formal Project Office was established with complete executive sponsorship and
funding in February 1997. This initiated a global business system strategy
that included a wide-scale Oracle implementation of business and financial
systems, plus major enhancements to branch automation systems. Included in
these initiatives is the remediation of year 2000 non-compliant systems.
The Company's State of Readiness
Plans for remediation of year 2000 non-compliant systems are divided into
the following major initiatives: mainframe, client server, domestic and
international subsidiaries. The common project phases consisted of:
inventory all hardware, software and embedded systems; prioritize systems
based on business criticality; complete a risk assessment based on interviews
with business users and subject matter experts, analysis of date
functionality, and vendor documentation; test and decide to upgrade, replace
or retire, as appropriate; internal certification; and a return to production.
As a part of the risk assessment process, contingency plans will be developed
in the event of system failure. Compuware Corporation was selected to assist
in the inventory remediation and testing process.
The inventory and assessment phase is 100% complete for all business
areas. Remediation and testing is 100% complete for some of the Kelly
business units. Overall completion is approximately 70% when all countries
and business units are considered. The Company is 100% remediated of all
mission-critical customer support systems at year-end 1998. Testing will
continue throughout 1999 with planned completion during the third quarter of
1999. Testing teams are in place for mainframe, client server and
international. The testing process includes a detailed risk assessment to
determine the necessity and scope of testing. In some instances internal
certification is recommended without testing, based on the risk assessment.
This process will ensure resources remain focused on areas of greatest risk.
External communications and readiness assessments have been distributed
to all customers, landlords, vendors, suppliers and facilities for North
America. International communications and assessments were 100% complete at
year end 1998. First quarter 1999 analysis of responses received will
determine follow-up action including additional contingency planning.
The Costs to Address The Company's Year 2000 Issues
The total cost of the Year 2000 project is expected to be at least
somewhat offset by the benefits to be realized by the Company. These include:
enhanced functionality at the branch level; a worldwide inventory of
information technology and systems; a high-level documentation of business
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-10-
processes used by strategic business units; rationalization and
standardization of diverse information systems; upgrades and standardization
of desktop computing; upgrade of wide area network to remote business units;
improved software quality assurance; and clean-up and documentation of older
program code.
Total cost of the Year 2000 remediation project is estimated to be
approximately $21 million. The total amount incurred to date is $9 million,
of which $1 million was expended in 1997 and $8 million expended in 1998.
Approximately $4 million of the total cost has been incurred for remediation
(code remediation, project management compliance and risk assessment), nearly
$3 million for testing, and the balance for contingency development.
The estimated future cost of completing the Year 2000 project is
approximately $12 million to be incurred throughout 1999 and early 2000. Of
these future costs the Company estimates approximately $4 million will relate
to remediation, over $5 million for testing and the balance for contingency
activities. Funds for the project are budgeted separately from other
Information Technology initiatives. These costs are being expensed as an
element of Selling, General and Administrative expense and are funded from
cash provided by operations.
The Risks Of The Company's Year 2000 Issues
The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption, or a failure of, certain normal business activities or
operations. Such failures could materially and adversely affect the Company's
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. It is believed the
most significant of risks concern the Year 2000 readiness of third party
customers and suppliers. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year
2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000
readiness of third-party suppliers and customers, the Company is unable to
determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures will
have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or
financial condition. The Year 2000 Project is expected to significantly
reduce the Company's level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem and
through, in particular, the Year 2000 readiness of its internal systems and
processes and its assessment of third-party preparedness.
In general, the Company believes all reasonable steps possible have been
taken or are in process to ensure operations will continue without disruption.
Additionally, in the event of circumstances resulting from the failure of a
third party, all reasonable steps possible will have been taken to ensure
appropriate contingency plans exist or are being developed to minimize the
impact of these failures.
Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions
The market risk inherent in the Company's market risk sensitive
instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes
in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Foreign currency
exchange risk is mitigated by the availability of the Company's multi-currency
line of credit. This credit facility can be used to borrow in the local
currencies that can effectively hedge the exchange rate risk resulting from
foreign currencies weakening in relation to the U.S. dollar.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
-11-
The Company's holdings and positions in market risk sensitive instruments
do not subject the Company to material risk exposures.
Adoption of the Euro
A segment of the global business system implementation is devoted to
changes necessary to deal with the introduction of a European single currency
(the Euro). The transition period for implementation is January 1, 1999
through January 1, 2002.
The Company does not expect that introduction and use of the Euro will
result in any material increase in costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors,
Kelly Services, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements as listed in Item 14(a) 1
and 2 of this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Kelly Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries at January 3, 1999,
December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Kelly Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(In thousands of dollars except share and per share items)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31.
The three most recent years ended on January 3, 1999 (1998), December 28,
1997 (1997) and December 29, 1996 (1996).
The financial statements consolidate the accounts and operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned, after
elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions.
The Company divides its operations into three segments: (1) U.S.
Commercial Staffing, (2) Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives
and (3) International. The accounts of the Company's foreign operations are
translated at appropriate rates of exchange. Revenues, costs and expenses of
foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at average-period
exchange rates. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are
translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates with the effects of
these translation adjustments being reported as a separate component of
accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity.
Foreign operations are conducted in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, Norway, Puerto Rico, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and the United
Kingdom. Refer to the Segment Disclosures footnote for additional
information.
Revenue from sales of services is recognized as services are provided by
the temporary, contract or leased employees. Revenue from permanent
placement fees is recognized at the time the permanent placement candidate
begins full-time services.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current presentation.
2. CURRENT ASSETS
Cash and equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market.
Included are highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less.
Short-term investments are debt instruments having original maturities
of more than three months and are classified as available for sale. Of these
investments, federal, state and local government obligations comprised
approximately 80% in 1998, 70% in 1997 and 90% in 1996. Short-term
investments due within one year totaled $64,000 in 1997 with the balance due
within two years. The entire short-term investments balance in 1998 and 1996
was due within one year. The difference between carrying amounts and market
was not material at January 3, 1999, December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996.

goodwill and has determined that no impairments have occurred. Such reviews
are based on various analyses including profitability projections and
management's judgment of the related business' ability to achieve sufficient
profitability.
Other assets include deposits and cash values of life insurance on the
lives of officers and key employees.
6. CAPITALIZATION

savings feature with Company matching contributions. Assets of this plan are
held by an independent trustee for the sole benefit of participating
employees.
A nonqualified benefit plan is provided for officers and certain other
management employees. Upon approval by the Board of Directors, a
contribution based on eligible wages is set aside annually. This plan also
includes provisions for salary deferrals and Company matching contributions.
Amounts provided for retirement benefits totaled $7,000 in 1998, $6,300
in 1997 and $4,900 in 1996.

Provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign income taxes
on an estimated $5,400 of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries
which are permanently reinvested. If such earnings were to be remitted,
management believes that U.S. foreign tax credits would largely eliminate any
such U.S. and foreign income taxes.
The Company paid income taxes of $65,700 in 1998, $64,300 in 1997 and
$46,500 in 1996.
11. PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN
Under the 1992 Performance Incentive Plan as amended and restated in
1996 (the "Plan"), the Company may grant stock options (both incentive and
nonqualified), Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs), restricted awards and
performance awards to key employees utilizing the Company's Class A stock.
Stock options may not be granted at prices less than the fair market value on
the date of grant, nor for a term to exceed 10 years. The Plan provides that
the maximum number of shares available for grants is 7-1/2 percent of the
outstanding Class A stock, adjusted for Plan activity over the preceding five
years. Shares available for future grants at the end of 1998, 1997 and 1996
were 1,213,000, 1,149,000 and 1,394,000, respectively.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for the Plan. Accordingly, no compensation
cost has been recognized for incentive and nonqualified stock options. If
compensation cost had been determined based on the fair value at the grant
dates for awards under the Plan consistent with the method of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
the Company's net income would have been reduced by $1,135, $809 and $497 for
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively; basic earnings per share would have been
reduced by $.03 in 1998, $.02 in 1997 and $.01 in 1996; and diluted earnings
per share would have been reduced by $.03 in 1998 and 1997 and $.01 in 1996.
Since stock options generally become exercisable over several years and
additional grants are likely to be made in future years, the pro forma
amounts for compensation cost may not be indicative of the effects on net
income and earnings per share for future years.
The fair value of each option included in the following tables is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively: dividend yield of 3.0 percent in all three years,
expected volatility of 31, 30 and 31 percent, risk-free interest rates of
5.3, 5.9 and 5.7 percent and expected lives of six years in 1998 and seven
years in 1997 and 1996.

As of January 3, 1999, no SARs have been granted under the Plan.
Restricted awards are issued to certain key employees and are subject to
forfeiture until the end of an established restriction period. Restricted
awards totaling 14,500, 38,900 and 2,400 shares were granted under the Plan
during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The weighted average grant date
price of such awards was $35.64, $29.58 and $27.38 for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Restricted awards outstanding totaled 36,200, 52,800 and
55,700 shares at year-ends 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and have a
weighted average remaining life of 2.5 years at January 3, 1999.
Under the Plan, performance awards may be granted to senior executive
officers, the payout of which is determined by the degree of attainment of
objectively determinable performance goals over the established relevant
performance period. Performance awards totaling 51,500, 44,500 and 42,000
shares were granted under the Plan during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The weighted average grant date prices of such awards were $34.94, $28.06 and
$29.75 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Unearned performance awards
outstanding at year-ends 1998, 1997 and 1996 were 115,200, 76,300 and 38,500,
respectively, and have a weighted average remaining life of 1.1 years at
January 3, 1999. Total compensation cost recognized for restricted and
performance awards was $2,000, $1,400 and $1,300 for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
12. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and
liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of its business. Litigation
is subject to many uncertainties, the outcome of individual litigated matters
is not predictable with assurance and it is reasonably possible that some of
the foregoing matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company. Although
the amount of the liability at January 3, 1999 with respect to these matters
cannot be ascertained, the Company believes that any resulting liability will
not be material to the financial statements of the Company at January 3,
1999.

13. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES
In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information. SFAS 131 supersedes SFAS 14, Financial Reporting for Segments
of a Business Enterprise, replacing the "industry segment" approach with the
"management" approach. The management approach designates the internal
organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and
assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments.
Adoption of SFAS 131 did not affect results of operations or financial
position but did affect the disclosure of segment information. Prior years'
segment information has been restated to present the Company's reportable
segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that
are based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which disaggregates
its business by segment. The Company's reportable segments are: (1) U.S.
Commercial Staffing, (2) Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives
(PTSA) and (3) International.
The following table presents information about the reported operating
income of the Company for the fiscal years 1998, 1997 and 1996. Segment data
presented is net of intersegment revenues. Asset information by reportable
segment is not reported, since the Company does not produce such information
internally.
