TROY, Mich. (September 11, 2009) – In recognition of American companies that support the spouses of military members, Military Spouse magazine has once again listed its top 10 "Military Spouse Friendly Employers". Kelly Services Inc., a world leader in human resources solutions, is the only Michigan-based company to make the list.
For the third consecutive year, Kelly Services is listed as one of the magazine's top 10 employers for military spouses. Kelly was chosen for its efforts and success in recruiting military spouses and for offering both traditional and non-traditional perks for its employees through its employee portal, www.myKelly.com.

The annual list, which will appear in the October 2009 issue of Military Spouse magazine, recognizes companies which have had the greatest success in hiring from the talent pool of 1.1 million spouses of military troops, 93 percent of whom are women.
Through its network of branches around the United States, Kelly Services can offer a military spouse the opportunity to work and support their family monetarily while also expanding their skill sets and achieving career goals in spite of frequently relocating due to their spouse's military service.
"Military spouses can rely on Kelly Services to create employment opportunities time after time, in various regions and cities around the United States and the world," said Jocelyn Lincoln, senior director of Kelly Services' Americas Marketing Group. "Kelly will continue to provide positions for hard-working, career-oriented military spouses well into the future."
Top companies were selected from a pool of approximately 2,500 which earned a minimum of $1 billion in annual revenues. Companies were evaluated on their efforts to recruit military spouses, results in recruiting from them, and policies affecting them.
