                     General Employment Reports
                        Third-Quarter Results



OAKBROOK TERRACE, IL - General Employment Enterprises, Inc. (AMEX:
JOB) reported a net loss of $852,000, or $.17 per share, for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared with a net loss of $784,000,
or $.15 per share, for the same quarter last year.

The pretax loss for the current quarter was $852,000, which was the
same as the net loss, compared with a pretax loss of $1,259,000 for
the same quarter last year.  There was no income tax benefit for the
current quarter, while there was a tax credit of $475,000 for last
year's quarter.

The Company's consolidated net revenues for the quarter were
$4,597,000, down 3% from $4,734,000 for the same quarter last year.
Placement service revenues of $1,357,000 were about even with last
year, while contract service revenues of $3,240,000 declined 4%.

Commenting on the Company's performance, Herbert F. Imhoff, Jr.,
board chairman and CEO, said, "We continued to see a pattern of
weakness in the United States labor market during the June 2003
quarter, and that weakness continued to suppress the demand for our
staffing services.  I am pleased that our volumes for the quarter
improved from last year, as the number of permanent placements was
up 8% and the number of billable contract hours was up 5%.  Due to
the weakness in demand, however, our business was subjected to
pricing pressures that pushed average fees lower and resulted in
lower overall revenues."

Mr. Imhoff continued, "Despite the weak labor market and lower
revenues, I am pleased with the Company's performance on controlling
costs, as actions taken over the past year are now evident in our
reduced cost structure.  For the quarter, general and administrative
expenses were down 15%, and total operating expenses were down 9%.
These reductions reflect the benefit of closing eight unprofitable
branch offices and other actions taken during the last twelve
months.  As a result, the Company reduced its third-quarter pretax
loss by $407,000, or 32%, compared with last year."

For the nine months ended June 30, 2003, the Company had a net loss
of $2,596,000, or $.51 per share, compared with a net loss of
$2,255,000, or $.44 per share, for the same period last year.  The
pretax loss for the current year to date was $2,596,000, compared
with last year's pretax loss of $3,630,000.  Consolidated net
revenues for the nine-month period were $14,027,000, down 9%
compared with $15,397,000 last year.

Mr. Imhoff concluded his comments by saying, "I am committed to
returning the Company to profitability.  We made important strides
in reducing our cost structure, and we will continue to examine
further cost-reduction options in the future.  Nevertheless, our
return to profitability depends on an improvement in national hiring
levels for information technology and other professionals.  It is
difficult to predict when such a recovery will occur."

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are based
on management's current expectations and are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Some of the factors that could affect the Company's
future performance include general business conditions, the demand
for the Company's services, competitive market pressures, the
ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified personnel for
regular full-time placement and contract project assignments, and
the ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified corporate
and branch management.

General Employment provides professional staffing services through a
network of 25 branch offices located in 12 states, and specializes
in information technology, accounting and engineering placements.
The Company's shares are traded on the American Stock Exchange under
the trading symbol JOB.
