Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Nature of Operations Kelly Services, Inc. is a global workforce solutions provider operating throughout the world.
	Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The three most recent years ended on December 29, 2013 (2013), December 30, 2012 (2012) and January 1, 2012 (2011), respectively, all of which contained 52 weeks. The Company’s operations in Brazil are accounted for on a one-month lag. The Company’s equity investment in TS Kelly Workforce Solutions is accounted for on a one-quarter lag (see Investment in Equity Affiliate footnote). Any material transactions in the intervening period are disclosed or accounted for in the current reporting period. Period costs included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are recorded on a calendar-year basis.
	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
	Available-For-Sale Investment The Company’s available-for-sale investment, as further described in the Fair Value Measurements footnote, is carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized losses and declines in value below cost judged to be other-than-temporary are included as a component of asset impairments expense in the consolidated statement of earnings. The fair value of the available-for-sale investment is based on quoted market prices.
	Foreign Currency Translation All of the Company’s international subsidiaries use their local currency as their functional currency. Revenue and expense accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at average exchange rates, while assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments, net of tax, where applicable, are reported as accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments in stockholders’ equity and are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
	Revenue Recognition Revenue from services is recognized as services are provided by the temporary or contract employees. Revenue from permanent placement services is recognized at the time the permanent placement candidate begins full-time employment. Revenue from other staffing fee-based consulting services is recognized when the services are provided. Provisions for sales allowances (billing adjustments related to errors, service issues and compromises on billing disputes), based on historical experience, are recognized at the time the related sale is recognized as a reduction in revenue from services.
	Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on historical loss experience, customer payment patterns and current economic trends. The reserve for sales allowances, as discussed above, is also included in the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable on a quarterly basis and, if necessary, increases or decreases the balance by recording a charge or credit to SG&A expenses for the portion of the adjustment relating to uncollectible accounts receivable, and a charge or credit to revenue from services for the portion of the adjustment relating to sales allowances.
	Cost of Services Cost of services are those costs directly associated with the earning of revenue. The primary examples of these types of costs are temporary employee wages, along with associated payroll taxes, temporary employee benefits, such as service bonus and holiday pay, and workers’ compensation costs. These costs differ fundamentally from SG&A expenses in that they arise specifically from the action of providing our services to customers whereas SG&A costs are incurred regardless of whether or not we place temporary employees with our customers.
	Advertising Expenses Advertising expenses from continuing operations, which are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expenses, were $8.9 million in 2013, $8.5 million in 2012 and $7.5 million in 2011.
	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, workers’ compensation, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, litigation costs and income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
	Cash and Equivalents Cash and equivalents are stated at fair value. The Company considers securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and equivalents.
	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Cost and estimated useful lives of property and equipment by function are as follows:
	Category	2013		2012		Life
		(In millions of dollars)
	Land	$	3.8	$	3.8			-
	Work in process		4.4		7.2			-
	Buildings and improvements		58.9		56.5		15	to	45 years
	Computer hardware and software		215.7		202.3		3	to	12 years
	Equipment, furniture and fixtures		33.6		33			5	years
	Leasehold improvements		34.1		34.8	The lesser of the life of the lease or 5 years.
	Total property and equipment	$	350.5	$	337.6
	The Company capitalizes external costs and internal payroll costs directly incurred in the development of software for internal use as required by the Internal-Use Software Subtopic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Work in process represents capitalized costs for internal use software not yet in service. Depreciation expense was $18.4 million for 2013, $19.0 million for 2012 and $28.9 million for 2011.
	Operating Leases The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This includes the impact of both scheduled rent increases and free or reduced rents (commonly referred to as “rent holidays”). The Company records allowances provided by landlords for leasehold improvements as deferred rent in the consolidated balance sheet and as operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Purchased intangible assets with definite lives are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are amortized over their respective useful lives (from 3 to 15 years) on a straight-line basis or, if appropriate, on an accelerated basis commensurate with the related cash flows.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets The Company evaluates long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When estimated undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover the asset group’s carrying amount, in which the long-lived asset being tested for impairment resides, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of by sale, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell.
	We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. We have determined that our reporting units are the same as our operating and reportable segments based on our organizational structure and the financial information that is provided to and reviewed by management. We may use a qualitative assessment for one or more reporting units for the annual goodwill impairment test if we have determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit(s) is more than their carrying value.
	For reporting units where the qualitative assessment is not used, goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and no further testing is required.
	If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, a second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is deemed impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference.
	Accounts Payable Included in accounts payable are outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit. Such amounts totaled $20.6 million and $22.2 million at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Accrued Payroll and Related Taxes Included in accrued payroll and related taxes are outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit. Such amounts totaled $4.0 million and $5.3 million at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively. Payroll taxes for temporary employees are recognized proportionately to direct wages for interim periods based on expected full-year amounts.
	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	Uncertain tax positions that are taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities that have full knowledge of all relevant information. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
	Interest and penalties related to income taxes are accounted for as income tax expense.
	Stock-Based Compensation The Company may grant restricted stock awards and units (collectively, “restricted stock”), stock options (both incentive and nonqualified), stock appreciation rights and performance awards to key employees associated with the Company’s Class A stock. The Company utilizes the market price on the date of grant as the fair value for restricted stock and estimates the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in SG&A expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings.
	Earnings Per Share Restricted stock that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting are considered participating securities and, therefore, are included in the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, earnings from continuing operations (or net earnings) is reduced by the amount of dividends declared, and the remaining undistributed earnings is allocated to common stock and participating securities based on the proportion of each class’s weighted average shares outstanding to the total weighted average shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of potential common shares outstanding in the average weighted shares outstanding.
	Workers’ Compensation The Company establishes accruals for workers’ compensation claims utilizing actuarial methods to estimate the undiscounted future cash payments that will be made to satisfy the claims. The estimates are based both on historical experience as well as current legal, economic and regulatory factors. When claims exceed the applicable loss limit or self-insured retention and realization of recovery of the claim from existing insurance policies is deemed probable, the Company records a receivable from the insurance company for the excess amount. The receivable is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet at the 2013 year end and in other assets at the 2012 year end. The Company regularly updates its estimates, and the ultimate cost of these claims may be greater than or less than the established accrual.

	2. Fair Value Measurements
	Trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued payroll and related taxes and short-term borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
	Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
	The following tables present the assets carried at fair value as of year-end 2013 and 2012 on the consolidated balance sheet by fair value hierarchy level, as described below.
	Level 1 measurements consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 measurements include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 measurements include significant unobservable inputs.

	Money market funds as of year-end 2013 and 2012 represent investments in money market accounts, all of which are restricted as to use and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of year-end 2013 and prepaid expenses and other current assets as of year-end 2012. The valuations were based on quoted market prices of those accounts as of the respective period end.
	Available-for-sale investment represents the Company’s investment in Temp Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Temp Holdings”) and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The valuation is based on the quoted market price of Temp Holdings stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of the period end. The unrealized gain of $30.1 million for the year ended 2013 and $13.1 million for the year ended 2012 were recorded in other comprehensive income, as well as in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The cost of this yen-denominated investment, which fluctuates based on foreign exchange rates, was $19.7 million at year-end 2013 and $24.1 million at year-end 2012.
	Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
	We completed our annual impairment test for all reporting units in the fourth quarter for the fiscal years ended 2013 and 2012 and determined that goodwill was not impaired.
	In 2013, we completed a qualitative assessment for the annual goodwill impairment test for the OCG and APAC PT reporting units. In 2012, we completed a qualitative assessment for the annual goodwill impairment test for the Americas Commercial and Americas PT reporting units. As a result of these qualitative assessments, we determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the reporting units was more than its carrying value. In conducting the qualitative assessment, we assessed the totality of relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying value of a reporting unit. Such events and circumstances included macroeconomic conditions, industry and competitive environment considerations, overall financial performance, reporting unit specific events and market considerations. We considered recent valuations of our reporting units, including the magnitude of the difference between the most recent fair value estimate and the carrying value. We considered both positive and adverse events and circumstances and assessed the extent to which each of the events and circumstances identified affected the comparison of a reporting unit's fair value with its carrying value.
	In 2013, we completed a step one quantitative test for the Americas Commercial and Americas PT reporting units. In 2012, we completed a step one quantitative test for the OCG and APAC PT reporting units. For both years, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit tested exceeded its related carrying value. Our analysis used significant assumptions by segment, including: expected future revenue and expense growth rates, profit margins, cost of capital, discount rate and forecasted capital expenditures. For the step one analyses we performed in 2013, our revenue projections assumed modest growth. For the step one analyses we performed in 2012, our revenue projections assumed near-term growth consistent with current year results, followed by long-term modest growth. Assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex and subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and internal forecasts. A 10% reduction in our revenue growth rate assumptions would not result in the estimated fair value falling below book value for those reporting units where we performed a step one quantitative test.
	During the second quarter of 2013, a triggering event for the evaluation of certain long-lived assets for impairment occurred as the Company made the decision to exit the executive search business operating in an asset group within Germany that was associated with the OCG business segment. Based on the Company’s estimates as of the 2013 second quarter end, a $1.7 million reduction in the carrying value of OCG intangible assets was recorded. The resulting expense was recorded in the asset impairments line on the consolidated statement of earnings.
	In 2012, management made the decision to abandon the PeopleSoft billing system implementation project in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico and accordingly, recorded impairment charges of $3.1 million representing previously capitalized costs associated with this project.

	In the fourth quarter of 2011, we acquired the stock of Tradição Planejamento e Tecnologia de Serviços S.A. and Tradição Tecnologia e Serviços Ltda. (collectively, “Tradição”), a national service provider in Brazil. Tradição is included the Americas Commercial operating segment.
	Included in the assets purchased was approximately $5.0 million of intangible assets associated with customer lists. These assets are being amortized over approximately 7 years based on the expected cash flows and will have no residual value. Acquisition adjustments totaling $0.8 million were identified during the measurement period and recorded to our consolidated balance sheet in 2013. These adjustments, which related to changes in Tradição’s estimated tax liabilities assumed, are included in the changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill as detailed in the Goodwill footnote.

	In 2012, we purchased the remaining 30% noncontrolling interest in our China subsidiaries, and recorded a charge to paid-in capital of $1.2 million for the difference between the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest and the fair value of the consideration provided.
	On July 24, 2012, we entered into an agreement with Temp Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Temp Holdings”) to form a venture, TS Kelly Workforce Solutions (“TS Kelly”), in order to expand both companies’ presence in North Asia. On November 1, 2012, we contributed our China, Hong Kong and South Korea subsidiaries in exchange for a 49% ownership interest in TS Kelly. Consequently, we deconsolidated the operations of those entities and recorded a $5.1 million investment in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet, which represented the estimated fair value of our ownership interest in TS Kelly at year-end 2012. The operating results of our interest in TS Kelly are accounted for on a one-quarter lag under the equity method; accordingly, our consolidated financial statements include operating results for TS Kelly beginning in 2013. Our 49% share of TS Kelly’s operating results is recorded in other expense, net in the consolidated statement of earnings (see Other Expense, Net footnote).
	In 2012, we recorded a loss of $0.7 million in other expense, net, which represented the difference between the carrying value of net assets contributed to the venture and the fair value of our retained investment in TS Kelly. As part of this transaction, we allocated a pro-rata share of goodwill related to the contributed entities in our APAC PT and OCG segments amounting to $0.6 million.
	The amount due to or due from TS Kelly was immaterial as of year-end 2013 and 2012.

	On December 11, 2013, we entered into an agreement with our lenders to amend and restate our existing revolving credit facility dated March 30, 2011 (the “Facility”). The amendment made, among others, the following changes:
		●	Increased the lenders’ commitments from $150.0 million to $200.0 million;
		●	Revised the termination date of the facility from March 31, 2016 to December 11, 2018; and
		●	Reduced the applicable margins based on the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement and calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter.
	The Facility allows for borrowings in various currencies and is used to fund working capital, acquisitions, and general corporate needs. At year-end 2013 and 2012, there were no borrowings under the Facility and the remaining borrowing capacity was $200.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively. At year-end 2013, the Facility had a commitment fee of 25 basis points. This varies based on the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in the agreement. The Facility’s financial covenants and restrictions are described below, all of which were met at year-end 2013:
		●	We must maintain a certain minimum ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain cash and non-cash charges that are non-recurring in nature (“EBITDA”) to interest expense (“Interest Coverage Ratio”) as of the end of any fiscal quarter.
		●	We must maintain a certain maximum ratio of total indebtedness to the sum of net worth and total indebtedness at all times.
		●	Dividends, stock buybacks and similar transactions are limited to certain maximum amounts.
		●	We must adhere to other operating restrictions relating to the conduct of business, such as certain limitations on asset sales and the type and scope of investments.
	On December 11, 2013, the Company and Kelly Receivables Funding, LLC, a wholly owned bankruptcy remote special purpose subsidiary of the Company (the “Receivables Entity”) amended the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated December 4, 2009 related to the existing $150 million securitization facility (“Securitization Facility”). The amendment made, among others, the following changes:
		●	Revised the termination date of the facility from March 31, 2014 to December 9, 2016;
		●	Introduced a delayed funding option that allows the bank to delay honoring a funding request for up to 35 days in the event there is market dislocation; and
		●	Reduced the facility fees, letter of credit fees, and program fees.
	Under the Securitization Facility, the Company will sell certain trade receivables and related rights (“Receivables”), on a revolving basis, to the Receivables Entity. The Receivables Entity may from time to time sell an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the Receivables. The Securitization Facility also allows for the issuance of standby letters of credit (“SBLC”). The Securitization Facility contains a cross-default clause that could result in termination if defaults occur under our other loan agreements. The Securitization Facility also contains certain restrictions based on the performance of the Receivables.
	As of year-end 2013, the Securitization Facility carried $28.0 million of short-term borrowings at a rate of 0.97%, $55.0 million of SBLCs related to workers’ compensation and a remaining capacity of $67.0 million. The interest rate detailed above includes a facility fee of 40 basis points. As of year-end 2012, the Securitization Facility carried $63.0 million of short-term borrowings at a rate of 1.40%, SBLCs of $55.0 million related to workers’ compensation and remaining capacity of $32.0 million.
	The Receivables Entity’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of trade accounts receivable and related rights from the Company. As described above, the Receivables Entity may retransfer these receivables or grant a security interest in those receivables under the terms and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Receivables Entity is a separate legal entity with its own creditors who would be entitled, if it were ever liquidated, to be satisfied out of its assets prior to any assets or value in the Receivables Entity becoming available to its equity holders. The assets of the Receivables Entity are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. The assets and liabilities of the Receivables Entity are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
	The Company had total unsecured, uncommitted short-term local credit facilities of $15.3 million as of year-end 2013. Borrowings under these lines totaled $0.3 million and $1.1 million at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively. The interest rate for these borrowings was 10.75% at year-end 2013 and 9.56% at year-end 2012.

	The Company provides a qualified defined contribution plan covering substantially all U.S.-based full-time employees, except officers and certain other employees. Upon approval by the Board of Directors, a discretionary contribution based on eligible wages may be funded annually. The plan also offers a savings feature with Company matching contributions. Assets of this plan are held by an independent trustee for the sole benefit of participating employees.
	A nonqualified plan is provided for officers and certain other employees. Upon approval by the Board of Directors, a discretionary contribution based on eligible wages may be made annually. This plan also includes provisions for salary deferrals and Company matching contributions.
	In addition to the plans above, the Company also provides a qualified plan and a nonqualified plan to certain U.S-based temporary employees.
	The liability for the nonqualified plans was $135.6 million and $110.6 million as of year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in current accrued payroll and related taxes and noncurrent accrued retirement benefits. The cost of participants’ earnings on this liability, which were included in SG&A expenses, were earnings of $15.7 million and $10.2 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively, and losses of $0.9 million in 2011. In connection with the administration of these plans, the Company has purchased company-owned variable universal life insurance policies insuring the lives of certain officers and key employees. The cash surrender value of these policies, which is based primarily on investments in mutual funds and can only be used for payment of the Company’s obligations related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan noted above, was $134.0 million and $106.3 million at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively. The cash surrender value of these insurance policies is included in other assets. Tax-free earnings on these assets, which were included in SG&A expenses, were $17.4 million in 2013, $10.3 million in 2012 and losses of $1.8 million in 2011.
	The net expense for retirement benefits for the qualified and nonqualified plans, including Company matching and discretionary contributions for full-time employees, totaled $6.2 million in 2013, $9.7 million in 2012 and $9.9 million in 2011. The expense related to retirement plan contributions for temporary employees is reimbursed by our customers.
	In addition, the Company also has several defined benefit pension plans in locations outside of the United States. The total projected benefit obligation, assets and unfunded liability for these plans as of year-end 2013 were $13.7 million, $9.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The total projected benefit obligation, assets and unfunded liability for these plans as of year-end 2012 were $14.2 million, $8.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively. Total pension expense for these plans was $0.7 million, $1.1 million and $0.9 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	Average common shares outstanding (millions)
	Basic		37.3			37			36.8
	Diluted		37.3			37			36.8
	Due to the fact that there were no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share on common stock are the same for 2013, 2012 and 2011. Stock options representing 0.3 million, 0.4 million and 0.6 million shares for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.
	We have presented earnings per share for our two classes of common stock on a combined basis. This presentation is consistent with the earnings per share computations that result for each class of common stock utilizing the two-class method as described in ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula which determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to the dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in the undistributed earnings.
	In applying the two class method, we have determined that the undistributed earnings should be allocated to each class on a pro rata basis after consideration of all of the participation rights of the Class B shares (including voting and conversion rights) and our history of paying dividends equally to each class of common stock on a per share basis.
	The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows the Board of Directors to declare a cash dividend to Class A shares without declaring equal dividends to the Class B shares. Class B shares’ voting and conversion rights, however, effectively allow the Class B shares to participate in dividends equally with Class A shares on a per share basis.
	The Class B shares are the only shares with voting rights. The Class B shareholders are therefore able to exercise voting control with respect to all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of or removal of directors. The Board of Directors has historically declared and the Company historically has paid equal per share dividends on both the Class A and Class B shares. Each class has participated equally in all dividends declared since 1987.
	In addition, Class B shares are convertible, at the option of the holder, into Class A shares on a one for one basis. As a result, Class B shares can participate equally in any dividends declared on the Class A shares by exercising their conversion rights.

	11. Stock-Based Compensation
	Under the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Company may grant stock options (both incentive and nonqualified), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and performance awards to key employees associated with the Company’s Class A stock. The Plan provides that the maximum number of shares available for grants is 10 percent of the outstanding Class A stock, adjusted for Plan activity over the preceding five years. Shares available for future grants at year-end 2013 under the Plan were 1,552,354. The Company issues shares out of treasury stock to satisfy stock-based awards. The Company presently has no intent to repurchase additional shares for the purpose of satisfying stock-based awards.
	The Company recognized stock-based compensation cost of $6.0 million in 2013 and 2012 and $5.7 million in 2011, as well as related tax benefits of $2.3 million in 2013 and 2012 and $2.2 million in 2011.
	Restricted Stock
	Restricted stock, which typically vests over 4 years, is issued to certain key employees and is subject to forfeiture until the end of an established restriction period. The Company utilizes the market price of its Class A stock on the date of grant as the fair value of restricted stock and expenses the fair value on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
	A summary of the status of nonvested restricted stock under the Plan as of year-end 2013 and changes during this period is presented as follows:
		Restricted			Weighted
		Stock			Average
					Grant Date
					Fair Value
	Nonvested at year-end 2012		1,062,525		$	15.19
	Granted		497,700			19.74
	Vested		(345,925	)		15.58
	Forfeited		(85,700	)		15.35
	Nonvested at year-end 2013		1,128,600		$	17.06
	As of year-end 2013, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock totaled $16.2 million. The weighted average period over which this cost is expected to be recognized is approximately two years. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of restricted stock granted during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $19.74, $12.98 and $16.84, respectively. The total fair value of restricted stock, which vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011, was $6.5 million, $4.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively.
	Stock Options
	Under the terms of the Plan, stock options may not be granted at prices less than the fair value of the Company’s Class A stock on the date of grant, nor for a term exceeding 10 years, and typically vest over 3 years. The Company expenses the fair value of stock option grants on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. No stock options were granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	A summary of the status of stock option grants under the Plan as of year-end 2013 and changes during this period is presented as follows:
		Options			Weighted		Weighted		Aggregate
					Average		Average		Intrinsic
					Exercise		Remaining		Value
					Price		Contractual

	The table above includes 33,000 of non-employee director shares outstanding at year-end 2013.
	As of year-end 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. No stock options were exercised in 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	Windfall tax benefits, which were included in the “Other financing activities” component of net cash from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows, totaled $0.5 million in 2013 and were insignificant for 2012 and 2011.

	Other, net			-			1.9			1.5
	Total		$	(10.1	)	$	19.1		$	(7.3	)
	General business credits primarily represent U.S. work opportunity credits and, in 2011 only, HIRE Act retention credits of $11.3 million. In 2012, the work opportunity credit was available only for veterans and pre-2012 hires. The full credit was retroactively reinstated on January 2, 2013, resulting in the inclusion of $9.3 million of tax benefits during 2013 that would have been recognized in 2012 if the law had been in effect. Foreign business taxes include the French business tax and other taxes based on revenue less certain expenses and are classified as income taxes under ASC Topic 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. The Company closed income tax examinations in 2012, resulting in a $5.1 million benefit.
	The Company has U.S. general business credit carryforwards of $82.0 million which will expire from 2030 to 2033. The net tax effect of state and foreign loss carryforwards at year-end 2013 totaled $49.4 million, which expire as follows (in millions of dollars):
		Year		Amount
		2014-2015		$	0.6
		2016-2018			3.3
		2019-2022			2.5
	2023-2033			0.6
	No expiration			42.4
	Total		$	49.4
The Company has established a valuation allowance for loss carryforwards and future deductible items in certain foreign jurisdictions. The valuation allowance is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, which requires an assessment of both negative and positive evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. The Company’s foreign losses in recent periods in these jurisdictions represented sufficient negative evidence to require a valuation allowance under ASC 740. The Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support realization of the foreign deferred tax assets.
Provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign income taxes on an estimated $76.8 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, which are permanently reinvested. If these earnings were to be repatriated, the Company would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes, adjusted for foreign credits. It is not practicable to determine the income tax liability that might be incurred if these earnings were repatriated.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
		2013			2012			2011
		(In millions of dollars)
Balance at beginning of the year		$	2.9		$	7.8		$	8.5
Additions for prior years' tax positions			-			0.4			0.2
Reductions for prior years' tax positions			(0.1	)		(5.3	)		(0.8	)
Additions for settlements			-			-			0.2
Reductions for settlements			-			-			(0.2	)
Reductions for expiration of statutes			-			-			(0.1	)
Balance at end of the year		$	2.8		$	2.9		$	7.8
If the $2.8 million in 2013, $2.9 million in 2012 and $7.8 million in 2011 of unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, they would have a favorable effect of $1.8 million in 2013, $1.9 million in 2012 and $6.7 million in 2011 on income tax expense.
The Company recognizes both interest and penalties as part of the income tax provision. The Company recognized expense of $0.1 million in 2013, a benefit of $0.3 million in 2012 and expense of $0.1 million in 2011 for interest and penalties. Accrued interest and penalties were $0.3 million at year-end 2013 and $0.2 million at year-end 2012.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and in various states and foreign countries. The tax periods open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject include the U.S. for fiscal years 2010 through 2013, Canada for fiscal years 2006 through 2013, France for fiscal years 2011 through 2013, Mexico for fiscal years 2008 through 2013, Switzerland for fiscal years 2004 through 2013 and Russia for fiscal years 2011 through 2013.
The Company and its subsidiaries have various income tax returns in the process of examination or administrative appeals. The unrecognized tax benefit and related interest and penalty balances include approximately $0.5 million for 2013 related to tax positions which are reasonably possible to change within the next twelve months due to income tax audits, settlements and statute expirations.

	Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions and the effect of deconsolidated entities, as disclosed in the statements of cash flows, for the fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were as follows:
		2013			2012			2011
		(In millions of dollars)
	Increase in trade accounts receivable	$	(14.6	)	$	(57.9	)	$	(148.5	)

	Total changes in operating assets and liabilities	$	59.2		$	(26.3	)	$	(55.0	)
	The Company paid interest of $2.0 million, $2.6 million and $2.9 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company paid income taxes of $16.9 million in 2013, $18.8 million in 2012 and $21.5 million in 2011.
	During 2013, the Company determined that both cash and equivalents and accrued payroll and related taxes were understated by $4.8 million as of the 2012 year end, and by an insignificant amount as of the 2011 year end. The Company determined that the impact of this error on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows was not material. As a result of correcting the error in 2013, changes in operating assets and liabilities and net cash from operating activities are both overstated by $4.8 million in the consolidated statements of cash flows for 2013.

	In addition to operating lease agreements, the Company has entered into noncancelable purchase obligations totaling $30.8 million. These obligations relate primarily to voice and data communications services and online tools which the Company expects to utilize generally within the next two fiscal years, in the ordinary course of business. The Company has no material unrecorded commitments, losses, contingencies or guarantees associated with any related parties or unconsolidated entities.

	16. Contingencies
	During the first quarter of 2013, the Company agreed to a settlement related to its unclaimed property examination by Delaware, its state of incorporation, for $4.5 million. Types of property under exam included payroll and accounts payable checks and accounts receivable credits, covering all reporting years through and including 2012. Accordingly, the Company recorded an additional reserve of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2013. The Company paid this settlement during the second quarter of 2013.
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, a Louisiana jury rendered an award of $4.4 million, pursuant to litigation brought by Robert and Margaret Ward against the Jefferson Parish School Board and Kelly Services. Under the verdict, Kelly’s share of the liability consists of $2.7 million plus a portion of pre-and-post-judgment interest. Kelly believes it is appropriately insured for this verdict. Kelly believes that the verdict is not supported by the facts of the case and is currently evaluating appeals strategies with its insurers.
	In 2012, the Company received final court approval of the settlement of a single class action, Fuller v. Kelly Services, Inc. and Kelly Home Care Services, Inc., in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles, which involved a claim for monetary damages by current and former temporary employees in the State of California. The claims were related to alleged misclassification of personal attendants as exempt and not entitled to overtime compensation under state law and alleged technical violations of a state law governing the content of employee pay stubs. During 2011, a $1.2 million after tax charge relating to the settlement was recognized in discontinued operations. During the first quarter of 2012, we reduced our estimate of the costs to settle the litigation by $0.4 million after tax, which we recorded in discontinued operations.
	The Company is continuously engaged in litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business, typically matters alleging employment discrimination, alleging wage and hour violations or enforcing the restrictive covenants in the Company’s employment agreements. While there is no expectation that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows, litigation is always subject to inherent uncertainty and the Company is not able to reasonably predict if any matter will be resolved in a manner that is materially adverse to the Company. At year-end 2013 and 2012, the gross accrual for litigation costs amounted to $6.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and related insurance recoveries totaled $3.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

	17. Segment Disclosures
	The Company’s segments are based on the organizational structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to determine resource allocation and assess performance. The Company’s seven reporting segments are: (1) Americas Commercial, (2) Americas Professional and Technical (“Americas PT”), (3) Europe, Middle East and Africa Commercial (“EMEA Commercial”), (4) Europe, Middle East and Africa Professional and Technical (“EMEA PT”), (5) Asia Pacific Commercial (“APAC Commercial”), (6) Asia Pacific Professional and Technical (“APAC PT”) and (7) Outsourcing and Consulting Group (“OCG”).
	The Commercial business segments within the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions represent traditional office services, contact-center staffing, marketing, electronic assembly, light industrial and, in the Americas, substitute teachers. The PT segments encompass a wide range of highly skilled temporary employees, including scientists, financial professionals, attorneys, engineers, IT specialists and healthcare workers. OCG includes recruitment process outsourcing (“RPO”), contingent workforce outsourcing (“CWO”), business process outsourcing (“BPO”), payroll process outsourcing (“PPO”), executive placement and career transition/outplacement services. Corporate expenses that directly support the operating units have been allocated to the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions and OCG based on a work effort, volume, or in the absence of a readily available measurement process, proportionately based on revenue from services.
	The following tables present information about the reported revenue from services and gross profit of the Company by segment, along with a reconciliation to consolidated earnings from continuing operations before taxes, for 2013, 2012 and 2011. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not produce such information internally nor does it use such data to manage its business.

	18. New Accounting Pronouncements
	In March 2013, the FASB issued amendments to address the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013 (early adoption is permitted). The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
	In July 2013, the FASB amended its guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date (retrospective and early adoption are also permitted). The amendments only affect gross versus net presentation and the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 29, 2013
Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies) [Line Items]	'
Nature of Operations [Text Block]	'
	Nature of Operations Kelly Services, Inc. is a global workforce solutions provider operating throughout the world.
Fiscal Period, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The three most recent years ended on December 29, 2013 (2013), December 30, 2012 (2012) and January 1, 2012 (2011), respectively, all of which contained 52 weeks. The Company’s operations in Brazil are accounted for on a one-month lag. The Company’s equity investment in TS Kelly Workforce Solutions is accounted for on a one-quarter lag (see Investment in Equity Affiliate footnote). Any material transactions in the intervening period are disclosed or accounted for in the current reporting period. Period costs included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are recorded on a calendar-year basis.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Marketable Securities, Available-for-sale Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Available-For-Sale Investment The Company’s available-for-sale investment, as further described in the Fair Value Measurements footnote, is carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized losses and declines in value below cost judged to be other-than-temporary are included as a component of asset impairments expense in the consolidated statement of earnings. The fair value of the available-for-sale investment is based on quoted market prices.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Foreign Currency Translation All of the Company’s international subsidiaries use their local currency as their functional currency. Revenue and expense accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at average exchange rates, while assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments, net of tax, where applicable, are reported as accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments in stockholders’ equity and are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Revenue Recognition Revenue from services is recognized as services are provided by the temporary or contract employees. Revenue from permanent placement services is recognized at the time the permanent placement candidate begins full-time employment. Revenue from other staffing fee-based consulting services is recognized when the services are provided. Provisions for sales allowances (billing adjustments related to errors, service issues and compromises on billing disputes), based on historical experience, are recognized at the time the related sale is recognized as a reduction in revenue from services.
Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on historical loss experience, customer payment patterns and current economic trends. The reserve for sales allowances, as discussed above, is also included in the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable on a quarterly basis and, if necessary, increases or decreases the balance by recording a charge or credit to SG&A expenses for the portion of the adjustment relating to uncollectible accounts receivable, and a charge or credit to revenue from services for the portion of the adjustment relating to sales allowances.
Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cost of Services Cost of services are those costs directly associated with the earning of revenue. The primary examples of these types of costs are temporary employee wages, along with associated payroll taxes, temporary employee benefits, such as service bonus and holiday pay, and workers’ compensation costs. These costs differ fundamentally from SG&A expenses in that they arise specifically from the action of providing our services to customers whereas SG&A costs are incurred regardless of whether or not we place temporary employees with our customers.
Advertising Cost, Policy, Expensed Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]	'
	Advertising Expenses Advertising expenses from continuing operations, which are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expenses, were $8.9 million in 2013, $8.5 million in 2012 and $7.5 million in 2011.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, workers’ compensation, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, litigation costs and income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash and Equivalents Cash and equivalents are stated at fair value. The Company considers securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and equivalents.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Cost and estimated useful lives of property and equipment by function are as follows:
	Category	2013			2012			Life
		(In millions of dollars)
	Land	$	3.8		$	3.8				-
	Work in process		4.4			7.2				-
	Buildings and improvements		58.9			56.5			15	to	45 years
	Computer hardware and software		215.7			202.3			3	to	12 years
	Equipment, furniture and fixtures		33.6			33				5	years
	Leasehold improvements		34.1			34.8		The lesser of the life of the lease or 5 years.
	Total property and equipment	$	350.5		$	337.6
	The Company capitalizes external costs and internal payroll costs directly incurred in the development of software for internal use as required by the Internal-Use Software Subtopic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Work in process represents capitalized costs for internal use software not yet in service. Depreciation expense was $18.4 million for 2013, $19.0 million for 2012 and $28.9 million for 2011.
Lease, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Operating Leases The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This includes the impact of both scheduled rent increases and free or reduced rents (commonly referred to as “rent holidays”). The Company records allowances provided by landlords for leasehold improvements as deferred rent in the consolidated balance sheet and as operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Purchased intangible assets with definite lives are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are amortized over their respective useful lives (from 3 to 15 years) on a straight-line basis or, if appropriate, on an accelerated basis commensurate with the related cash flows.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible Assets The Company evaluates long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When estimated undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover the asset group’s carrying amount, in which the long-lived asset being tested for impairment resides, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of by sale, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell.
	We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. We have determined that our reporting units are the same as our operating and reportable segments based on our organizational structure and the financial information that is provided to and reviewed by management. We may use a qualitative assessment for one or more reporting units for the annual goodwill impairment test if we have determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit(s) is more than their carrying value.
	For reporting units where the qualitative assessment is not used, goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and no further testing is required.
	If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, a second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is deemed impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Accounts Payable Included in accounts payable are outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit. Such amounts totaled $20.6 million and $22.2 million at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	Uncertain tax positions that are taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities that have full knowledge of all relevant information. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
	Interest and penalties related to income taxes are accounted for as income tax expense.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-Based Compensation The Company may grant restricted stock awards and units (collectively, “restricted stock”), stock options (both incentive and nonqualified), stock appreciation rights and performance awards to key employees associated with the Company’s Class A stock. The Company utilizes the market price on the date of grant as the fair value for restricted stock and estimates the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in SG&A expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Earnings Per Share Restricted stock that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting are considered participating securities and, therefore, are included in the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, earnings from continuing operations (or net earnings) is reduced by the amount of dividends declared, and the remaining undistributed earnings is allocated to common stock and participating securities based on the proportion of each class’s weighted average shares outstanding to the total weighted average shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of potential common shares outstanding in the average weighted shares outstanding.
Workers' Compensation Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Workers’ Compensation The Company establishes accruals for workers’ compensation claims utilizing actuarial methods to estimate the undiscounted future cash payments that will be made to satisfy the claims. The estimates are based both on historical experience as well as current legal, economic and regulatory factors. When claims exceed the applicable loss limit or self-insured retention and realization of recovery of the claim from existing insurance policies is deemed probable, the Company records a receivable from the insurance company for the excess amount. The receivable is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet at the 2013 year end and in other assets at the 2012 year end. The Company regularly updates its estimates, and the ultimate cost of these claims may be greater than or less than the established accrual.
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	The Company’s segments are based on the organizational structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to determine resource allocation and assess performance. The Company’s seven reporting segments are: (1) Americas Commercial, (2) Americas Professional and Technical (“Americas PT”), (3) Europe, Middle East and Africa Commercial (“EMEA Commercial”), (4) Europe, Middle East and Africa Professional and Technical (“EMEA PT”), (5) Asia Pacific Commercial (“APAC Commercial”), (6) Asia Pacific Professional and Technical (“APAC PT”) and (7) Outsourcing and Consulting Group (“OCG”).
	The Commercial business segments within the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions represent traditional office services, contact-center staffing, marketing, electronic assembly, light industrial and, in the Americas, substitute teachers. The PT segments encompass a wide range of highly skilled temporary employees, including scientists, financial professionals, attorneys, engineers, IT specialists and healthcare workers. OCG includes recruitment process outsourcing (“RPO”), contingent workforce outsourcing (“CWO”), business process outsourcing (“BPO”), payroll process outsourcing (“PPO”), executive placement and career transition/outplacement services. Corporate expenses that directly support the operating units have been allocated to the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions and OCG based on a work effort, volume, or in the absence of a readily available measurement process, proportionately based on revenue from services.
	The following tables present information about the reported revenue from services and gross profit of the Company by segment, along with a reconciliation to consolidated earnings from continuing operations before taxes, for 2013, 2012 and 2011. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not produce such information internally nor does it use such data to manage its business.
