NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(In thousands of dollars)


1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include
all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. All adjustments, consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments, have been made which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim
periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results of operations for a full year. The unaudited consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2000 (the 2000 consolidated financial statements).

2. Segment Disclosures

The Company's reportable segments, which are based on the Company's method of
internal reporting, are: (1) U.S. Commercial Staffing, (2) Professional,
Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) and (3) International. The following
table presents information about the reported sales and earnings from operations
of the Company for the 13-week periods ended April 1, 2001 and April 2, 2000.
Segment data presented is net of intersegment revenues. Asset information by
reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not produce such
information internally.

3. 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 April 1, 2001 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 April 1, 2001.

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

Results of Operations:
First Quarter
Sales of services in the first quarter of 2001 were $1.087 billion, an increase
of 0.7% from the same period in 2000. Sales in the U.S. Commercial Staffing
segment grew by 0.1% in the first quarter. Sales grew 2.9% in January, but
declined 0.6% in February and 2.5% in March, resulting in the small net positive
growth reported for the quarter.

Professional, Technical and Staffing Alternatives (PTSA) sales grew by 3.1%
compared to last year. Within the PTSA segment, the automotive services group
revenues declined approximately 7.5% during the quarter due to softness in the
automobile industry. Kelly Law Registry sales decreased, and sales of the staff
leasing unit were flat during the quarter.

The impact of unfavorable foreign currency translation on international revenue
continues to be significant. Translated U.S. dollar sales in the International
segment decreased by 0.5% as compared to the first quarter of 2000. However, on
a constant currency basis, international revenue growth was approximately 7%,
consistent with fourth quarter results.

Cost of services, consisting of payroll and related tax and benefit costs of
employees assigned to customers, increased 1.5% in the first quarter as compared
to the same period in 2000.

Gross profit of $181.4 million was 3.5% lower than the first quarter of 2000,
and gross profit as a percentage of sales was 16.7% in 2001, which was down from
the 17.4% rate in 2000. This reflected a decrease in the gross profit rates of
the U.S. Commercial and International segments, primarily due to a shift in mix
of sales to larger national account customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $173.2 million in the first
quarter, an increase of 7.3% over the same period in 2000. Expenses averaged
15.9% of sales in the first quarter of 2001, a 1.0% increase versus the 14.9%
rate in 2000. Sales growth decreased faster during the quarter than the Company
could prudently reduce expenses.

Earnings from operations of $8.2 million were 69.2% lower than the first quarter
of 2000. U.S. Commercial earnings totaled $32.2 million, a decrease of 20.6%
compared to earnings of $40.5 million last year. The decrease in earnings is due
to the decline in gross profit margins noted above and the Company's inability
to cut field expenses quickly enough as sales volumes declined.

PTSA earnings totaled $12.2 million, a 21.7% decrease compared to earnings of
$15.6 million last year. During the last six months, the Company continued to
invest heavily in the professional and technical businesses, opening over twenty
new branches, which impacted the expense rates in the first quarter. In
addition, fee income from permanent placement and temp-to-perm decreased
significantly in many business units.

International earnings totaled $1.6 million, down 67.6%, compared to earnings of
$4.9 million last year. The strong U.S. dollar significantly weakened both
translated sales and profit results. In addition, the slowing of staffing demand
in Canada, Puerto Rico and Australia further reduced operating results.

Net interest expense was $175 thousand, as compared to last year's net interest
income of $287 thousand. The swing is primarily attributable to higher borrowing
levels than last year, as a result of the Business Trends acquisition completed
in the third quarter of 2000.

Earnings before income taxes were $8.0 million, a decrease of 70.2%, compared to
pretax earnings of $26.9 million earned for the same period in 2000. Income
taxes were 40.0% of pretax income in the first quarter of 2001 and 40.2% in the
first quarter of 2000.

Net earnings were $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2001, a decrease of 70.1%
from the first quarter of 2000. Diluted earnings per share were $.13, a decrease
of 71.1% as compared to $.45 in the same period last year.
10


Financial Condition
Assets totaled $1.078 billion at April 1, 2001, a decrease of 1.0% from the
$1.090 billion at December 31, 2000. Working capital decreased $15.0 million
during the first quarter. The current ratio was 1.6 at April 1, 2001 and
December 31, 2000.

During the first three months of 2001, net cash from operating activities was
$50.7 million, an increase of 48.8% from the comparable period in 2000. This
increase resulted principally from a decrease in the accounts receivable balance
offset by a decline in net earnings. The Company's global day's sales
outstanding for the 13-week period were 50 days in 2001, an improvement of one
day over the 51 days reported in 2000.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter totaled $13.8 million, up slightly
from the $12.8 million spent during the same period of 2000. Of the total, over
75% related to information technology investments. Annual capital expenditures
are projected to total between $45 to $50 million in 2001.

During the first quarter, the Company acquired a fully leased commercial office
building that will be used for future expansion. This transaction was the second
leg of a tax-free exchange for undeveloped land the Company initiated in the
fourth quarter of 2000. The land was effectively swapped for the building, but
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, it is shown as a
cash acquisition for $11.8 million in the first quarter.

The quarterly dividend rate applicable to Class A and Class B shares outstanding
was $.25 per share in the first quarter of 2001. This represents a 4.2% increase
compared to a dividend rate of $.24 per share in the first quarter of 2000.

The Company's financial position continues to be strong. The Company continues
to carry no long-term debt and expects to meet its growth requirements
principally through cash generated from operations.

Market Risk-Sensitive Instruments And Positions
The Company does not hold or invest in derivative contracts. The Company is
exposed to foreign currency risk primarily due to its net investment in foreign
subsidiaries. This risk is mitigated by the use of the Company's multi-currency
line of credit. This credit facility is used to borrow in local currencies which
mitigates the exchange rate risk resulting from foreign currency-denominated net
investments fluctuating in relation to the U.S. dollar. In addition, the Company
is exposed to interest rate risks through its use of the multi-currency line of
credit.

Overall, the Company's holdings and positions in market risk-sensitive
instruments do not subject the Company to material risk.

Forward-Looking Statements
Except for the historical statements and discussions contained herein,
statements contained in this report relate to future events that are subject to
risks and uncertainties, such as: competition, changing market and economic
conditions, currency fluctuations, changes in laws and regulations, the
Company's ability to effectively implement and manage its information technology
programs and other factors discussed in the report and in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ
materially from any projections contained herein.
