                               (unaudited)

1.       Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
   by the company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
   the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  This Report
   on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the
   company's financial statements and notes thereto for the
   year ended October 31, 1996 included in the company's 1996
   Annual Report to Shareholders.  Certain information and
   footnote disclosures which are normally included in
   financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
   accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
   omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.  The
   information reflects all normal and recurring adjustments
   which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
   fair presentation of the financial position of the company
   and its results of operations for the interim periods set
   forth herein.  Because of the seasonality of the company's
   business, the results for the three and nine months ended
   July 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
   results to be expected for the full year.  The financial
   statements include the combined financial position,
   operations and cash flows for Personnel Management, Inc.
   and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, hereafter referred as
   "the company".

2.       Per Share Disclosures

   Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number
   of shares of common stock outstanding during the period,
   including the dilutive effect of warrants and stock
   options.  For the aforementioned items, the effect on the
   weighted average number of shares outstanding was computed
   using the treasury stock method using the actual date of
   grant or exercise for shares and options issued.<PAGE>

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

The following should be read in conjunction with "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" included in the company's 1996 Annual Report to
Shareholders.

SELECTED INCOME STATEMENT COMPARISONS

REVENUES.  For the three months ended July 31, 1997, revenues
increased 11.3% or $1,931,000 compared to the 1996 period, to
$19,075,000.  The increase was a result of internal revenue growth
of approximately 7.0% and the acquisition of the two staffing
businesses in March 1997.

For the nine months ended July 31, 1997, revenues increased 12.8% or
$6,093,000 compared to the prior year period, to $53,656,000.  This
increase was due to internal revenue growth of approximately 7.0%
and the acquisitions of staffing businesses in February 1996 and
March 1997.

GROSS MARGINS.  Gross margin is defined by the company as revenues
less the cost of providing services, which includes hourly wages of
temporary employees, employer payroll taxes, benefits for temporary
employees and workers' compensation costs.  Gross margin for the
three months ended July 31, 1997 was $3,819,000 or 20.0% of
revenues, compared to $3,475,000 or 20.3% of revenues for the
corresponding prior year period.  The increase in gross margin of
$344,000 was primarily due to increased revenues.  The decline in
gross margin as a percentage of revenues was attributable primarily
to competitive pricing.

Gross margin for the nine months ended July 31, 1997 was $10,699,000
or 19.9% of revenues, compared to $9,684,000 or 20.4% of revenues
for the corresponding prior year period.  The increase in gross
margin of $1,015,000 was primarily due to increased revenues.  The
decline in gross margin as a percent of revenues was attributable
primarily to competitive pricing.<PAGE>
<PAGE>10

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 1997
were $3,026,000 or 15.9% of revenues compared to $2,785,000 or 16.2%
of revenues in the corresponding prior year period.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended July
31, 1997 were $8,595,000 or 16.0% of revenues compared to $8,043,000
or 16.9% of revenues in the corresponding prior year period.  The
increase in SG&A expenses for both the three and nine month periods
was entirely associated with the staffing businesses purchased by 
the company in February 1996 and March 1997.  SG&A expenses as a
percentage of revenues declined as a result of lower professional
fees and provision for bad debts.

AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL.  Goodwill represents the unamortized cost
in excess of fair value of net assets acquired and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.  Goodwill
amortization for the three and nine months ended July 31, 1997
increased 2.3% and 6.9%, respectively, compared to the previous year
period.  This increase was a result of the amortization of goodwill
related to the businesses acquired in February 1996 and March 1997,
and the amortization of payments of additional purchase price to the
prior owners of acquired businesses under the earnout provisions of
the acquisition agreements.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  The decrease of $11,000 or 17.6% and $52,000
or 26.4% in interest expense, net of interest income for the three
months and nine months ended July 31, 1997, respectively, compared
to the prior year period was due primarily to lower average
borrowings compared to the corresponding prior year period.

INCOME TAXES.  The decrease in income tax expense for the three
months ended July 31, 1997 compared to the prior year period was due
to a reduction in the company's effective tax rate.  Income tax
expense in the current quarterly period included the adjustment to
reflect income tax expense on a year-to-date basis at this new lower
effective tax rate.

The increase in income tax expense for the nine months ended July
31, 1997 compared to the prior year period was a result of an
increase in net income before income taxes.  The effective income
tax rate for the current year nine month period was 45.5% compared
to 48.2% in the prior year period.

NET INCOME.  Net income for the three months ended July 31, 1997
increased 51.1% to $381,000 compared to net income of $252,000 for
the prior year period.  Earnings per share increased 58.3% to $0.19
from $0.12.<PAGE>
<PAGE>11

For the nine months ended July 31, 1997, net income increased 49.1%
to $918,000 compared to net income of $615,500 in the prior year
period.  Earnings per share increased 50.0% to $0.45 from $0.30.

The increases in net income for both the three and nine month
periods in fiscal 1997 were attributable to increases in revenues
and decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended
July 31, 1997 was $1,077,000 and net borrowings under the bank
credit facility were $225,000.  Primary uses of cash were $343,000
for repayments on long-term borrowings, $379,000 for capital
expenditures and $762,000 for purchases of businesses and payments
under the earnout provisions of acquisition agreements.

Management believes that cash provided by operations, augmented by
borrowings for working capital purposes under the bank credit
facility, will be adequate to satisfy the company's operating cash
requirements during fiscal 1997.

On January 21, 1997, the company accepted a commitment from KeyBank,
NA to refinance its bank credit facility which provides the company
with the ability to borrow up to $11,000,000 for general working
capital purposes, acquisition financing, letters of credit and the
refinancing of outstanding borrowings.  The facility consists of a
two year $8,500,000 revolving line of credit and a five year
$2,500,000 term loan.  Borrowings under the line of credit are
subject to meeting certain borrowing base requirements.  Upon
maturity, up to $4,000,000 of  borrowings for acquisition financing
under this line convert to a five year term loan.  At July 31, 1997,
the company's availability under the line of credit was
approximately $4,920,000.

The $2,500,000 term loan is payable in equal monthly principal
installments of $42,000 beginning February 1997.  The company's
existing and committed credit facilities are secured and
collateralized by accounts receivable, equipment, cash, general
intangibles, contract rights, and proceeds thereof.  In addition,
the company has agreed with the bank under the credit facilities to
certain financial and non-financial restrictive covenants, which
include, among other things, minimum levels of tangible net worth,
minimum cash flow coverage ratios, maximum ratio of indebtedness to
earnings,
<PAGE>
<PAGE>12

restrictions on capital expenditures, restrictions on common stock
repurchases, and restrictions on future mergers, consolidations,
acquisitions or joint ventures.  At July 31, 1997, the company was
in compliance with its covenants.

                   PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, INC.
                 1994 DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

                    (As amended May 19, 1997,
                subject to shareholder approval)

I.   PURPOSE

The purpose of this 1994 Director Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") of
Personnel Management, Inc. (the "Corporation") is to encourage
ownership in the Corporation by outside directors of the
Corporation whose continued services are considered essential to
the Corporation's continued progress, and to provide them with a
further incentive to continue as directors of the Corporation, and
to increase the value of the Corporation.

II.  ELIGIBILITY

Each director of the Corporation is eligible to participate in the
Plan and shall receive the options provided for by formula herein,
unless he or she is an officer or employee of the Corporation or
any subsidiary of the Corporation ("Eligible Director").

III. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

          A.  Common Stock.  The stock which is the subject of
     options granted under the Plan shall be the Corporation's
     authorized but unissued Common Stock, no par value per share
     ("Stock").  In connection with the issuance of shares of Stock
     under the Plan, the Corporation may utilize shares repurchased
     in the open market or otherwise.

          B.  Aggregate Amount.  The total number of shares subject
     to options granted under the Plan shall not exceed forty
     thousand (40,000) shares (subject to adjustment under Article
     VIII).

IV.  TERMS, CONDITIONS AND FORM OF OPTIONS

Each option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by a written
agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A,
which agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:

          A.  Non-Statutory Stock Options.  All options granted
     under the Plan shall be non-statutory options not entitled to
     special tax treatment under Section 422A of the Internal
     Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to date and as may be further
     amended from time to time (the "Code").
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 2
          B.  Option Grant Dates.  Options shall be granted on
     January 31, 1995 for each Eligible Director's service to the
     Corporation during the two fiscal quarters ended October 31,
     1994 and January 31, 1995, and on the last day of each fiscal
     quarter thereafter for each Eligible Director's service to the
     Corporation during such quarter.

          C.  Number of Option Shares.  An option granted to an
     Eligible Director relating to such Eligible Director's service
     to the Corporation during the fiscal quarter ended October 31,
     1994 or during any quarter within the fiscal year ended
     October 31, 1995, shall be an option to acquire a number of
     shares equal to (i) 500 shares of Stock for each meeting of
     the Corporation's Board of Directors actually attended by such
     Eligible Director during such quarter, plus (ii) 250 shares of
     Stock for each meeting of a committee of the Board of
     Directors actually attended by such Eligible Director during
     such quarter.  For each quarter during a fiscal year after the
     fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, the number of shares which
     an Eligible Director shall be entitled to receive for each
     board meeting attended and each board committee meeting
     attended shall be set by a standing resolution of the
     Corporation's Board of Directors, which resolution may not be
     amended more than once each fiscal year.

          D.  Transferability.  Each option granted under the Plan
     by its terms shall not be transferable by the Eligible
     Director otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
     distribution, and shall be exercised during the lifetime of
     the Eligible Director only by such Eligible Director.

          E. Term of Option.  Options become exercisable with
     respect to fifty percent (50%) of the shares covered thereby
     on the date upon which they were granted and become
     exercisable with respect to the remaining shares covered
     thereby on the first anniversary of the date upon which they
     were granted.  Unless terminated earlier in accordance with
     the terms of the Plan or the applicable option agreement, each
     option shall terminate upon the expiration of five (5) years
     after such option was granted.  

          F.  Manner of Exercise.  Options may be exercised only by
     written notice to the Corporation, which notice must specify
     the date of the stock option and the number of shares of Stock
     covered by the exercise, accompanied by payment of the full
     consideration for the shares as to which they are exercised in
     one or a combination of the following alternative forms:
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 3
               (i)  cash (including check, bank draft or money
          order); or

               (ii) shares of Stock previously acquired and held
          for at least six (6) months and standing in the name of
          the Eligible Director having a fair market value (as
          defined in Article VI) on the date of exercise equal to
          the Option Price (as defined in Article V) of the shares
          being exercised hereunder.  If the value of a certificate
          for shares tendered is in excess of the Option Price, the
          excess representing any fraction of a share value will be
          refunded to the Eligible Director in cash by the
          Corporation, and any excess representing whole share
          values will be refunded to the Eligible Director by the
          issuance of a new Stock Certificate representing such
          whole shares.  If the Eligible Director desires that the
          shares of Stock be registered in his or her name and that
          of another as joint tenants with rights of survivorship,
          he or she should so state in the notice.  In no case may
          fewer than one hundred (100) of such shares be purchased
          at any one time, except to purchase a residue of fewer
          than one hundred (100) shares.  An option may not be
          exercised for a fractional share.

          G.  Replacement Options.  In the event that an Eligible
     Director tenders Stock owned by such Eligible Director in
     payment (in whole or in part) of the purchase price of the
     shares that such Eligible Director has elected to purchase
     under an option, the Corporation shall issue to such Eligible
     Director a replacement option (a "Replacement Option") with
     the same expiration date as the option exercised (the
     "Exercised Option").  Such Replacement Option shall entitle
     such Eligible Director to purchase a number of shares equal to
     the number of shares tendered to the Corporation to purchase
     shares under the Exercised Option, and shall specify an
     exercise price equal to the fair market value (as determined
     in Article VI) of the Stock on the date of exercise of the
     Exercised Option.  Such Replacement Option shall not be
     exercisable during the twelve (12) months following the date
     of exercise of the Exercised Option and shall be cancelled if,
     during such twelve (12) month period, the Eligible Director
     sells any Stock other than in payment of the exercise price of
     another option under the Plan, or following the death of the
     Eligible Director.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 4
          H. Termination of Directorship.  All rights of an
     Eligible Director in an option (including without limitation
     a Replacement Option), to the extent that such rights have not
     been exercised and have not otherwise expired, shall terminate
     fifteen (15) months subsequent to the termination for any
     reason of such Director's services as an Eligible Director of
     the Corporation.  If the reason for termination is the death
     of an Eligible Director or an Eligible Director dies
     subsequent to the termination of his or her services as an
     Eligible Director, any option (including without limitation a
     Replacement Option) may be exercised during the period
     specified in the preceding sentence by the personal
     representative of the Eligible Director's estate or by the
     person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant
     to the Eligible Director's will or in accordance with the laws
     of descent and distribution.

V.   OPTION PRICE

The option price per share (the "Option Price") for the shares
covered by an option (other than a Replacement Option) relating to
the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1994 shall be the fair market
value (as determined in Article VI) of one share of Stock on
October 31, 1994 and the Option Price for the shares covered by any
option relating to any fiscal quarter thereafter (other than a
Replacement Option) shall be the fair market value (as determined
in Article VI) of one share of stock on the date of grant of the
option.

VI.  VALUATION OF COMMON STOCK

For all valuation purposes under the Plan, the fair market value of
a share of Stock shall be the average of the closing bid and ask
prices recorded by the National Association of Securities Dealers
(NASD) for the five (5) trading days immediately receding the date
of grant.

VII. NO RIGHT TO CONTINUE AS A DIRECTOR

Neither the Plan nor the granting of an option nor any other action
taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any
agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the
Corporation will retain an Eligible Director for any period of time
or at any particular rate of compensation.

<PAGE> 5

VIII. ADJUSTMENT TO STOCK

In the event any change is made to the Stock subject to the Plan or
subject to any outstanding option granted under the Plan (whether
by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination of
shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or
otherwise), then appropriate adjustments shall be made to the
maximum number of shares that may be the subject of options granted
under the plan and the number of shares and price per share of
stock subject to outstanding options.  The grant of options under
the Plan shall not affect the right of the Corporation to adjust,
reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

IX.  EFFECTIVE DATE

The Plan shall take effect on January 31, 1995, but options may be
granted hereunder relating to an Eligible Director's service to the
Corporation for any fiscal quarter ended on or after October 31,
1994; provided, however, no shares of Stock shall be issued under
the Plan and no options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable
prior to six (6) months after the Plan is approved by the holders
of at least a majority of the Corporation's voting stock present or
represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is
present or represented.  If such shareholder approval is not
obtained, then any options previously granted under the Plan shall
terminate and no further options shall be granted.

X.   AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

The Board of Directors of the Corporation may suspend, discontinue
or terminate the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect
whatsoever; provided that the Board shall not, without the approval
of the Corporation's shareholders (i) materially increase the
number of shares of Stock which may be issued under the Plan
(unless necessary to effect the adjustments required under Article
VIII) or other benefits accruing to participants under the plan,
(ii) materially modify the eligibility requirements for awards
under the Plan, or (iii) make any other change with respect to
which the Board of Directors determines that shareholder approval
is required by applicable law or regulatory standards; nor shall
any amendment adversely affect an Eligible Director's rights under
any option previously granted without the Eligible Director's
consent.  The provisions of this Plan that state or set forth a
formula for determining the amount, price and timing of awards of<PAGE>
<PAGE> 6
options and/or Stock shall not be amended more than once every six
(6) months, other than to comport with changes in the Code, the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder.

XI.  USE OF PROCEEDS

The cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the issuance of
shares pursuant to options under the Plan shall be used for general
corporate purposes.

XII. ADMINISTRATION

The Plan shall be self-administered.  However, ministerial actions
and duties shall be performed by the President of the Corporation,
who has authority to execute and deliver options to Eligible
Directors and to execute and deliver all such other instruments,
and to take all other actions and to make all other determinations,
not inconsistent with this Plan, that he may deem, in his sole
discretion, necessary or desirable.


XIII.     SECTION 16

Transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all
applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3, generally, and Rule 16b-
3(c)(2)(ii), specifically, or their successors under the Exchange
Act.  To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the
President fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void to
the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the President.

XIV. DELIVERY AND REGISTRATION OF STOCK

The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares with respect to an
option shall, if the President so requests, be conditioned upon the
receipt of a representation as to the investment intention of the
participant to whom such shares are to be delivered, in such form
as the President shall determine to be necessary or advisable to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any other federal, state or local securities
legislation.  It may be provided that any representation
requirement shall become inoperative upon a registration of the
shares or other action eliminating the necessity of such
representation under such Securities Act or other securities
legislation.  The Corporation shall not be required to deliver any
shares under the Plan prior to (i) the admission of such shares to
listing on any stock exchange or system on which shares may then be
listed, and (ii) the completion of such registration or other
qualification of such shares under any state or federal law, rule
or regulation, as the President shall determine to be necessary or
advisable.

XV.  GOVERNING LAW

hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana and
construed accordingly.
