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 was 19,822,600 for the three months ended March 31,
1995 and 19,761,221 for the three months ended March 31, 1994.

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

                         Results of Operations
                         ---------------------
     Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were
28% above the comparable quarter a year ago.  Operating profit margins
were 4.1% of revenues for the first quarter of this year compared to
3.0% for the same period in 1994. 

     Technical Services' revenues increased 29% over the first quarter
a year ago.  Operating profit margins for Technical Services' were 
4.2% in the first quarter of 1995 compared to 3.3% for the 1994 first
quarter.  Technical Services multi-year managed outsource programs for
customers continued their strong growth.  In addition, telecommunica-
tions markets were exceptionally strong, and chemicals/petrochemicals
has once again resumed growth after about a year and a half pause.  
The domestic auto manufacturers seem intent on maintaining a high 
level of design activity even with fluctuating car sales.

     Temporary Services' revenues were up 14% over last year's first
quarter.  Operating profit margins for Temporary Services were 4.0% 
for the first quarter of 1995, compared to 2.5% for the 1994 first
quarter.  This is the first pure year over year comparison since CDI
downsized its temporary office/clerical segment a couple of years ago
and integrated it with the Todays Temporary's operation (acquired in
1991) under Todays management.  That restructuring saw the segment
become solidly profitable. 

     Management Recruiters' revenues for the first quarter of 1995 
grew 50% over last year's first quarter.  Operating profit margins 
were 15% of revenues for the first quarter of this year and 12% for the
first quarter of last year.  Management Recruiters' markets are very
active.  Demand for middle-manager candidates is continuing to increase
as companies expand their own operations.  Management Recruiters' new
"temp-to-perm" services for middle management and office support
personnel are contributing to both revenue and profit growth.

                          Financial Condition
                          -------------------
     The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.4 to 1 
as of March 31, 1995 compared to 2.3 to 1 as of December 31, 1994.  
The ratio of long-term debt to total capital (long-term debt plus
shareholders' equity) was 36% as of March 31, 1995 compared to 30% at
December 31, 1994.  Working capital needs expanded during the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 as a result of the increased volume of business
conducted as well as higher levels of receivables which arose because
certain customers' internal processes caused delays in billings to
those customers.  Funding for the increased investment in working
capital was provided, in part, by additional borrowings of long-term
debt.  The Company believes that capital resources available from
operations and financing arrangements are adequate to support the
Company's businesses.
