     WHAT:     Advance comment on the unemployment rate announcement provided
               by global staffing company Kelly Services.

     WHO:      Carl Camden, president and chief operating officer, Kelly
               Services.

     DETAILS:  The following commentary is offered in advance of the February
               unemployment rate announcement due Friday from the U.S.
               Department of Labor:

               "We expect to once again see a modest jobs report this month
               with the economy continuing to reveal a steady demand for
               employees.  Looking ahead, we anticipate the next four to five
               months will deliver solid economic growth.

               "We are seeing demand for staffing services increasing across
               the job spectrum including a rise from temporary staffing into
               permanent jobs.  There is an ongoing need for credentialed
               professionals in the health care industry, while manufacturing
               is still showing a slow down and is not expected to return to
               past levels as companies are meeting production requirements
               with fewer employees."

               Carl Camden is also available for media interviews through the
               contact information above.
