MANPOWER INC.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                              APRIL 26, 1999


     Milwaukee, Wisconsin - Manpower Inc. (NYSE:  MAN)
announced today the retirement of its President, CEO
and Chairman, Mitchell Fromstein and the appointment of
Jeffrey Joerres, Senior Vice President of the firm, as
President and Chief Executive Officer as of April 30,
1999.
     
     Fromstein, 71, who has served as Manpower's Chief
Executive since 1976, will become Chairman Emeritus and
serve as an adviser to the Company.
     
     Joerres, 39, joined Manpower in 1993 after serving
in management positions with IBM and ARI Network
Services.  He is credited with the establishment and
growth of the Company's portfolio of global accounts,
which now represents over $1 billion in annual staffing
services volume, and has, over the past year, had
corporate responsibility for operations in the UK,
Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland,
Israel, Austria and the Nordic region.
     
     "I have been given a unique and exciting
opportunity to lead one of the greatest brands in the
world, and I am fortunate to have learned from Mitchell
Fromstein, who is truly a legend in the industry.  As
the new custodian of the brand, I believe strongly that
the intrinsic value of our brand has yet to be fully
realized by all of our stakeholders.  I see it as my
challenge and responsibility to aggressively pursue
that goal in every way possible," said Joerres.
     
     Manpower's Board Chairmanship will be assumed by
John R. Walter, presently a Board member.  Walter, 52,
served most recently as President and Chief Operating
Officer of AT&T prior to which he served as President,
Chairman and CEO of the R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. for
nine years.
     
     Fromstein, in his final address to shareholders at
the firm's Annual Meeting Monday, said:  "I believe the
Manpower Board has created an excellent team to replace
my functions, combining the youth and proven
performance of Jeff Joerres with the corporate
experience of John Walter.  I have served long years
with a great sense of pride and satisfaction, but it is
time for fresh sets of eyes to search the changing
horizons of our dynamic industry for opportunities that
can propel Manpower's growth in the future.
     
     "The Company will be in good hands."
