WHO:     Carl Camden, president and chief executive officer, Kelly

DETAILS: The following commentary is offered in advance of the June
         unemployment rate announcement due Friday from the U.S. Department
         of Labor:
         "Following a month where weaker numbers were produced, we expect
         to see modest acceleration in job creation for June. Record low
         unemployment rates are evident across the country, including the
         Midwest.
         "Due to unyielding gas and commodity prices, inflation continues.
         Wage increases are moderate, and the bargaining power remains in
         the hands of highly credentialed and experienced professionals.
         Technical sectors including engineering and information technology
         are experiencing growth, while manufacturing continues to lag.
         "The first half of the year proved to be positive with the economy
         producing good, solid numbers. Heading into the third quarter, the
         employment picture should remain one of steady, moderate growth."
WHEN:    Carl Camden is available Friday, July 7 for media interviews
         through the contact information listed above.
