                   Comments to Financial Statements


     Earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common share 
equivalents, which arise from stock options, outstanding during the 
periods.  No further dilution resulted from a computation of fully
diluted earnings per share.  The number of shares used to compute
earnings per share for the second quarter and six months of 1994 was
19,783,355 and 19,772,288 shares, respectively.  For the second
quarter and six months of 1993, 19,718,981 and 19,723,486 shares,
respectively, were used.

     Revenues and operating profit attributable to the business
segments of the Company for the second quarter and six months ended

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                         Results of Operations
                         ---------------------

     Consolidated revenues for the six months and quarter ended June
30, 1994 were 14% and 13% higher, respectively, compared to the same
period a year ago.  Operating profit for the six months and second
quarter in 1994 was 3.1% and 3.2% of revenues, respectively, compared
to 1.4% and 1.6% for the six months and second quarter in 1993.  

     Technical Services' revenues for the six months and second
quarter of 1994 grew 14% and 13%, respectively, from last year's
comparable periods.  Operating profit margins for the six months and
second quarter of 1994 were 3.3% and 3.2%, respectively, vs. 1.7% and
2.0% for last year's comparable periods.  Technical Services achieved
excellent gains in 1994 in both revenues and profits in the automotive
sector.  Customers in certain other fields are awarding larger scale
projects which are yielding additional increases in revenues.  Demand
has remained somewhat soft in certain parts of Technical Services'
chemicals/petrochemicals markets, however. 

     Temporary Services' revenues for the six months and second
quarter of 1994 were each 8% higher than last year's comparable
periods.  Operating profit margins for the six months and second
quarter of 1994 were 3.1% and 3.7%, respectively, vs. 1.1% and 2.0%
for last year's comparable periods.  This improved performance
continues the trend established in 1993 and also reflects strength in
the office/clerical temporary services markets. 

     Management Recruiters' revenues were up 47% for the six months of
this year and up 50% compared to last year's second quarter. 
Operating profit margins for the six months and second quarter of 1994
were 13.6% and 14.9%, respectively, compared to 11.0% and 10.1%,
respectively, for the same periods in 1993.  Demand has increased for
the segment's middle management search services.  In addition, new
product offerings, including recently introduced InterExec, a
temporary middle manager service, have produced increased revenues
over and above improvements in its traditional middle management
search business.

                         Financial Condition
                         -------------------

     The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.3 to 1 
as of June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993.  The ratio of long-term
debt to total capital (long-term debt plus shareholders' equity) was
32% as of June 30, 1994, compared to 35% at December 31, 1993.  The
abnormally high cash balance on December 31, 1993 was reduced early in
1994 coincident with the repayment of $16 million of current debt that
was outstanding on December 31, 1993.  Working capital has increased
in 1994 primarily as a result of the higher levels of business at

                                                                     8


which the Company has been operating.  Earnings have been sufficient 
to fund the increase in working capital and capital expenditures
through June 30, 1994 as well as providing enough capital to reduce
long-term debt by $4 million during the first half of 1994.  The
Company believes that capital resources available from operations and
financing arrangements are adequate to support the Company's
businesses.
