ITEM 5.

Other Events

On July 24, 1996, Career Horizons, Inc. announced the results of operations
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996.

Revenues rose 58 percent to $148.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996, from $94.2 million for the corresponding period a year ago.  Net income
advanced 76 percent to $4.8 million, or $0.25 per share, from $2.7 million, or
$0.22 per share.  The increases were attributable primarily to the Company's
aggressive acquisition strategy and continued internal growth in general
staffing and PL Services.  The earnings per share comparison reflects an 88
percent increase in the number of average shares outstanding as a result of
two financings completed in previous quarters.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, revenues were $275.9 million, an
increase of 50 percent from $183.7 million a year ago.  Net income rose 74
percent to $7.3 million, or $0.43 per share, from $4.2 million (before special
charge of $550,000), or $0.34 per share, for the first half of 1995.  Shares
outstanding increased by 74 percent.
