KELLY SERVICES REPORTS 3rd QUARTER 2008 RESULTS

TROY, MI (October 21, 2008) — Kelly Services, Inc., a world leader in human resources solutions, today announced results for the third quarter of 2008.

Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the third quarter of 2008 totaled $1.4 billion, a 2% decrease compared to the corresponding quarter in 2007.

Losses from operations for the third quarter of 2008 totaled $14.5 million, compared to $20.8 million earnings from operations reported for the third quarter of 2007. Included in the results of operations for the third quarter 2008 is a $22.5 million pre-tax charge related to several litigation matters. Earnings from operations in the third quarter of 2007 included $2.5 million of pre-tax restructuring costs.

Diluted losses per share from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2008 were $0.33, compared to third quarter 2007 earnings of $0.40 per share. The litigation charge in 2008 was $0.40 per diluted share from continuing operations. Included in third quarter 2007 diluted earnings is the $0.05 per share cost of restructuring.

Year-to-date 2008 earnings from continuing operations totaled $6.9 million or $0.20 per share.

Commenting on the results, Camden said “Our third quarter performance reflects the rapid deterioration in global economic conditions and further weakening of the staffing market, particularly in the U.S. Absent the litigation charge, we would have reported modest earnings for the quarter. Although a disappointment, these lawsuits do not affect our ability to execute our long-term strategy.”

Camden concluded, “In spite of the tumultuous economic landscape and the cyclical nature of our business, Kelly remains focused on building a stronger company for our employees and customers, while creating lasting value for our shareholders.”

In conjunction with its third quarter earnings release, Kelly Services, Inc. will host a conference call at 9:00 a.m. (ET) on October 21, 2008 to review the results and answer questions. The call may be accessed in one of the following ways:

KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(UNAUDITED)

(In thousands of dollars except per share data)

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the restructuring charge from prior year results is useful to understand the Company’s fiscal 2008 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding this item allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company’s financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company’s financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
