Manpower Reports 2ND Quarter and First Half 2009 Results

MILWAUKEE, WI, USA, July 23, 2009 – Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were 25 cents compared to $1.34 in the prior year period. Net earnings in the quarter were $19.3 million compared to $107.4 million a year earlier. Revenues for the second quarter were $3.8 billion, a decrease of 36 percent from the year earlier period, or a decrease of 27 percent in constant currency.

Second quarter 2009 results include a reorganization charge of $13.1 million, $9.0 million after tax, or 11 cents per diluted share primarily related to severances and office consolidations. Second quarter results also include an unfavorable impact from currency of 1 cent per diluted share and a favorable impact from a lower effective income tax rate.

Manpower Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey A. Joerres said, “While we have continued to see stabilization, and in our major geographies slight improvement, we have yet to experience real recovery. The months of September and October, which are traditionally strong seasonal months, will be an important period of time to give us an indication of whether or not 2009 will show signs of recovery.

"We continue to benefit greatly from our outplacement business, as Right Management had a record setting profit for the second quarter. Right Management's profitability, coupled with good expense management, is allowing us to have a longitudinal view of the company and remain poised for growth at the time of recovery, whenever that may be.

“We are anticipating the third quarter of 2009 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of 7 cents to 21 cents, which includes an estimated unfavorable currency impact of 1 cent,” Joerres stated.

Earnings per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were 27 cents compared to $2.27 per diluted share in 2008. Net earnings were $21.6 million compared to $182.9 million in the prior year. Revenues for the six-month period were $7.4 billion, a decrease of 34 percent from the prior year or 24 percent in constant currency. Foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of 2 cents for the six-month period.

In conjunction with its second quarter earnings release, Manpower will broadcast its conference call live over the Internet on July 23, 2009 at 7:30 a.m. CDT (8:30 a.m. EDT). Interested parties are invited to listen to the webcast and view the presentation by logging on to http://investor.manpower.com.

Balance Sheet Highlights

(a)

$625M multi-currency Revolving Credit Agreement provided by 17 banks. As of June 30, 2009, there was a €100M borrowing under the
Revolving Credit Agreement at Euro LIBOR + 40 bps (our current credit spread). The Euro LIBOR portion has been swapped to a 5.71% fixed
rate until July 2010, resulting in a total current borrowing cost of 6.11%. The credit agreement requires, among other things, that we comply
with a Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of less than 3.25 to 1 and a fixed charge ratio of greater than 2.00 to 1. As defined in the agreement, we had a
Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.9 to 1 and a fixed charge ratio of 2.5 to 1 as of June 30, 2009.
