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 1996 were $804,262,000, an
increase of 23.3% from the same period in 1995. Domestic sales grew
in excess of 20%, and reflects growth in the staffing business and
significant expansion in our staff leasing services. International
sales continued to grow at double digit rates.

Cost of services, consisting of payroll and related costs of employees
assigned to customers, increased 25.4% in the second quarter as
compared to the same period in 1995. Average hourly wage rates and
related costs from U.S. operations have increased from 1995 at a rate
somewhat higher than the general inflation rate due to a tightening
labor market.

Gross profit of $152,255,000 was 14.8% higher than 1995, while the
Company-wide gross profit rates declined from 20.3% in 1995 to 18.9% in
1996. Growth in the staff leasing business, with its inherently lower
margins, along with the upward pressure on wage rates noted above and
growth of sales with our very large customers, where contracts require
special pricing and additional implementation costs, all had the effect
of reducing the consolidated gross profit rate.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $124,259,000 in the
second quarter, an increase of 15.3% over the same period in 1995.
As a percent of sales, the spending rate averaged 15.5%, compared to
16.5% in last year's second quarter.

Earnings before income taxes were $29,138,000, an increase of 7.1%,
compared to pretax earnings of $27,210,000 for the same period in 1995.
The pretax margin was 3.6%, a .6 percentage point decrease from the
second quarter of 1995. Lower interest income represented .2
percentage point of the decline while the net of the lower gross
margin rate and lower expense spending rate accounted for the remaining
.4 percentage point of the decrease.

Income taxes were 40.1% of pretax income. This was 1.3 percentage
point over the applicable tax rate for the second quarter of 1995 due
to increased state tax rates, reduced tax-exempt income and the
expiration of tax credits against federal income tax liability earned
through the targeted jobs tax credit program.

Net earnings were $17,448,000 in the second quarter of 1996, an
increase of 4.7% over the second quarter of 1995. Earnings per share
were $.46 compared to the $.44 in the same period last year.



Year-to-Date


Sales of services totaled $1,538,193,000 during the first six months of
1996, an increase of 20.8% over 1995. This increase reflects continued
growth in the volume of domestic and international sales.

Cost of services of $1,248,252,000 was 22.6% higher than last year,
reflecting domestic and international volume growth and increases in
payroll costs due to a tightening U.S. labor market.

Gross profit increased 13.8% in 1996 due to strong increased sales
volume, but at lower gross profit rates on sales. The gross profit
rate was 18.8% for the first six months of 1996 compared to 20.0% for
1995. This decline reflects competitive constraints on price increases
in U.S. service lines, growth of sales with our very large customers
and higher volume growth in the staff leasing business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $241,997,000 were 14.1%
higher than last year. The spending rate was 15.7% of sales, 1.0
percentage point below last year's rate. Expenses continue to be
closely monitored in response to tightening margins in both U.S. and
overseas markets.

Earnings before taxes were $50,631,000, an increase of 7.0% over 1995.
These earnings averaged a pretax margin of 3.3%, or .4 percentage point
decrease over 1995. Lower interest income accounts for half of this
decline, and the net of lower gross margin rates, offset by a decreased
expense spending rate, accounted for the remainder. Income taxes were
40.1% of pretax earnings and were 1.2 percentage point higher than last
year's first half income tax rate. The absence of the targeted jobs
tax credit, increased state and local rates and increased foreign tax
rates account for this change.

Net earnings were $30,351,000, or 4.9% higher than the first six months
of 1995. Earnings per share were $.80 compared to $.76 last year.

Financial Condition

Assets totaled $766,592,000 at June 30, 1996, an increase of 6.7% over
the $718,687,000 at December 31, 1995. Working capital increased
$11,244,000 during the six-month period. The components of working
capital, notably accounts receivable, have changed due to increased
business activity. The current ratio was 2.2 at June 30, 1996, a
decline of .1 percentage point since December 31, 1995.

The quarterly dividend rate applicable to Class A and Class B shares
outstanding was increased to $.21 per share in the second quarter of
1996. This compares to a dividend rate of $.20 per share in the second
quarter of 1995.

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