                  KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
                             (UNAUDITED)



Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles) information excluding the impairment, restructuring and
litigation charges is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2009
financial performance and increases comparability.  Specifically,
Management believes that excluding these items allows for a more meaningful
comparison of current period operating performance with the operating
results of prior periods.  These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as
analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material
impact on cash flow and earnings per share.  As a result, Management
considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and
evaluates the Company's financial performance.  Management believes that
these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide
insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial
performance.  Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for,
or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance
with GAAP.

(1) Restructuring charges represent global costs incurred in connection
    with the reduction in the number of permanent employees and the
    consolidation, sale or closure of branch locations.  These costs
    include severance, lease terminations, asset write-offs and other
    miscellaneous costs.

(2) For 2009, asset impairment charges include adjustments to the value of
    goodwill for the Company's Americas Commercial, EMEA PT and APAC
    Commercial reporting segments, and long-lived assets and intangible
    assets related to Japan and Europe.  For 2008, asset impairment charges
    include adjustments to the value of goodwill for the Company's EMEA
    Commercial segment, the Company's investment in Tempstaff, and assets
    related to operations in the U.K.
