Item 1.  Description of the Registrant's Securities to be Registered.

     On October 10, 1985,  COMFORCE  Corporation  (the "Company") filed with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission,  Form 8-A registering its common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), on the American Stock Exchange.  The
Company hereby files this Form 8-A/A,  Amendment No. 1, to amend and restate the
description of the Common Stock contained in the Form 8-A.

     The  holders  of the  Common  Stock are  entitled  to one vote per share of
record  on all  matters  to be  voted  upon by  stockholders.  At a  meeting  of
stockholders at which a quorum is present,  a majority of the votes cast decides
all questions,  unless the matter is one upon which a different vote is required
by express  provision of law or the Company's  Certificate of  Incorporation  or
Bylaws.  Cumulative  voting is not  permitted  with  respect to the  election of
directors.

     The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and have no rights to
convert their Common Stock into any other  securities.  Subject to the rights of
holders  of  Preferred  Stock,  if  any  shares  of  Preferred  Stock  are  then
outstanding,  in the event of a  liquidation,  dissolution  or winding up of the
Company,  holders of Common Stock are entitled to participate equally, share for
share, in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities.

     The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive  ratably such dividends
as the Board of Directors may declare out of funds legally  available  therefor,
when and if so declared,  subject to the payment of preferential  dividends with
respect to any Preferred  Stock that from time to time may be  outstanding.  The
payment by the Company of dividends,  if any, rests within the discretion of its
Board of Directors  and will depend upon the  Company's  results of  operations,
financial  condition  and capital  expenditure  plans,  as well as other factors
considered relevant by the Board of Directors.
