PROXY STATEMENT

The enclosed proxy is solicited by the board of directors of Manpower Inc. for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 9:00 a.m., local time, on April 27, 2004, or at any postponement or adjournment of the annual meeting, for the purposes set forth in this proxy statement and in the accompanying notice of annual meeting of shareholders. The annual meeting will be held at Manpower’s International Headquarters, 5301 North Ironwood Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The expenses of printing and mailing proxy material, including expenses involved in forwarding materials to beneficial owners of stock, will be paid by us. No solicitation other than by mail is contemplated, except that our officers or employees may solicit the return of proxies from certain shareholders by telephone. In addition, we have retained Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of approximately $7,000 plus expenses.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 17, 2004 are entitled to notice of and to vote the shares of our common stock, $.01 par value, registered in their name at the annual meeting. As of the record date, we had outstanding 87,464,333 shares of common stock. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares of the common stock outstanding on the record date will constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote shares as to a matter with respect to which brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote, will be treated as present for purposes of determining the quorum. With respect to the proposal to elect the individuals nominated to serve as Class II directors by the board of directors and the proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors for 2004, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as voting on the proposals. Each share of common stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the annual meeting.

This proxy statement, notice of annual meeting of shareholders and the accompanying proxy card, together with our annual report to shareholders, including financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, are being mailed to shareholders commencing on or about March 3, 2004.

If the accompanying proxy card is properly signed and returned to us and not revoked, it will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy card. Each shareholder may revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before it is exercised by written notice of revocation or by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date to the secretary of Manpower. Attendance at the annual meeting will not, in itself, constitute revocation of a proxy. Unless otherwise directed, all proxies will be voted for the election of each of the individuals nominated to serve as Class II directors by the board of directors, for ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors for 2004, and as recommended by the board of directors with regard to all other matters or, if no such recommendation is given, in the discretion of the individuals to whom the proxies are given.

1.  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Manpower’s directors are divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, with staggered terms of three years each. The term of office of directors in Class II expires at the annual meeting. The board of directors proposes that the nominees described below, all of whom are currently serving as Class II directors, be elected as Class II directors for a new term of three years ending at the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Mr. Davis and Mr. Hueneke are standing for re-election. Ms. Burns was appointed to the board of directors in July, 2003 and was recommended to the nominating and governance committee by a non-management director and evaluated by a third-party search firm. Mr. Greenberg was appointed to the board of directors in October, 2003 and was recommended to the nominating and governance committee by a non-management director and evaluated by a third-party search firm.

Nominees receiving the largest number of affirmative votes cast will be elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the election. Accordingly, any shares not voted affirmatively, whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise, will not be counted as affirmative votes cast for any director.

Meetings and Committees of the Board

The board of directors has standing audit, executive compensation, executive, and nominating and governance committees. The board of directors has adopted written charters for the audit, executive compensation and nominating and governance committees. These charters are available on Manpower’s web site described below. Each director attended at least 75% of the board meetings and meetings of committees on which each served in 2003. The board of directors held six meetings during 2003. The board of directors did not take action by written consent during 2003.

The board of directors has determined that eight of ten of the current directors of Manpower are independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The independent directors are: Mr. Bouchard, Ms. Burns, Mr. Davis, Mr. Greenberg, Ms. Ridgway, Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Walter and Mr. Zore. The board of

4

directors made this determination after considering the following relationships and assessing the materiality of these relationships to Manpower, the named director and the entities involved:

• Ms. Burns is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Dow Corning, which has engaged us to provide temporary staffing services and Right Management Consultants, Inc., one of our subsidiaries, to provide career transition services.

• Mr. Zore is the President and Chief Executive Officer of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, which has engaged in the following transactions with us:

• Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Northwestern Mutual, provided investment banking services to us in connection with our acquisition of Right Management Consultants, Inc.

• Northwestern Mutual and joint ventures or limited liability companies in which it has an equity interest lease space to us and our affiliates.

• Northwestern Mutual has engaged Jefferson Wells, one of our subsidiaries, to provide accounting and related temporary help services.

• Northwestern Mutual and joint ventures or limited liability companies in which it has an equity interest have engaged us from time to time to provide temporary staffing services.

Based on a review of the immateriality of the amounts involved in these relationships from the standpoint of each party to the relationship, the arm’s length nature of these relationships and the directors’ lack of involvement in negotiating the terms of these relationships, the board of directors has determined that the relationships discussed above are not material to us, the named director or the other entities involved.

The non-management members of the board of directors meet in executive session without management at each regularly scheduled meeting of the board of directors. In accordance with Manpower’s corporate governance guidelines, executive sessions are chaired by the chairperson of a board committee selected annually on a rotating basis. Mr. Zore, the chairman of the audit committee, will be the chairman of the executive sessions held in 2004.

Any interested party that wishes to communicate directly with the chairperson of the executive sessions or with the non-management directors as a group may do so by calling 1-800-210-3458. The third-party service provider that monitors this telephone number will forward a summary of all communications directed to the non-management directors to the current chairperson of the executive sessions.

Certain documents relating to corporate governance matters are available on Manpower’s web site at www.investor.manpower.com. These documents include the following:

• Articles of incorporation;

• By-laws;

• Corporate governance guidelines;

• Code of business conduct and ethics;

• Charter of the nominating and governance committee, including the guidelines for selecting board candidates;

5

• Charter of the audit committee;

• Policy on services provided by independent auditors; and

• Charter of the executive compensation committee.

Information contained on Manpower’s web site is not deemed to be a part of this proxy statement.

The audit committee consists of Mr. Zore (Chairman), Mr. Bouchard, Ms. Burns and Mr. Davis. Each member of the audit committee is “independent” within the meaning of the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The board of directors has determined that Mr. Zore is an “audit committee financial expert” and “independent” as defined under the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The charter of the audit committee is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

The functions of the audit committee include: (i) appointing the independent auditors for the annual audit and approving the fee arrangements with the independent auditors; (ii) monitoring the independence, qualifications, and performance of the independent auditors; (iii) reviewing the planned scope of the annual audit; (iv) reviewing the financial statements to be included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K, any significant adjustments proposed by the independent auditors and our disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; (v) making a recommendation to the board of directors regarding inclusion of the audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K; (vi) reviewing recommendations, if any, by the independent auditors resulting from the audit to ensure that appropriate actions are taken by management; (vii) reviewing matters of disagreement, if any, between management and the independent auditors; (viii) meeting privately on a periodic basis with the independent auditors, internal audit staff and management to review the adequacy of our internal controls; (ix) monitoring our internal audit and accounting management and controls; (x) monitoring our policies and procedures regarding compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and compliance by our employees with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and (xi) monitoring any litigation involving Manpower which may have a material financial impact on Manpower or relate to matters entrusted to the audit committee. The audit committee held six meetings during 2003. The audit committee did not take action by written consent during 2003.

The executive compensation committee consists of Mr. Bouchard (Chairman), Mr. Greenberg, Ms. Ridgway and Mr. Walter. Each member of the executive compensation committee is “independent” within the meaning of the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The functions of this committee are to: (i) establish the compensation of Mr. Joerres, the president and chief executive officer of Manpower, and Mr. Van Handel, the executive vice president and chief financial officer of Manpower, subject to ratification by the board of directors; (ii) approve the compensation, based on the recommendations of the senior executive officers, of certain other senior executives of Manpower and its subsidiaries; (iii) periodically review the succession plans for our executive officers; (iv) serve as the administrative committee for Manpower’s stock option and stock purchase plans; (v) administer Manpower’s corporate senior management incentive plan; and (vi) act as the compensation committee of outside directors under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The executive compensation committee held five meetings during 2003. The executive compensation committee took action by written consent once during 2003.

The executive committee consists of Messrs. Joerres, Bouchard and Walter. This committee may exercise full authority in the management of the business and affairs of the board of directors when the board of directors is not in session, except to the extent limited by Wisconsin law, our articles of incorporation or by-laws, or as otherwise limited by the board of directors. Although the committee has very broad powers, in practice it acts only infrequently to take formal action on a specific matter when it would be impractical to call a meeting of the board of directors. The executive committee did not meet or take action by written consent in 2003.

6

The nominating and governance committee consists of Mr. Walter (Chairman), Ms. Burns, Mr. Davis, Ms. Ridgway and Mr. Zore. Each member of the nominating and governance committee is “independent” within the meaning of the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The functions of this committee are to: (i) recommend nominees to stand for election at annual shareholders meetings, to fill vacancies on the board of directors and to serve on committees of the board of directors; (ii) establish procedures and assist in identifying candidates for board membership; (iii) review the qualifications of candidates for board membership; (iv) review compensation arrangements in effect for non-management members of the board of directors and recommend changes deemed appropriate; (v) establish and review, for recommendation to the board of directors, guidelines and policies on the size and composition of the board, the structure, composition and functions of the board committees, and other significant corporate governance principles and procedures; (vi) monitor compliance by the non-management directors with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; (vii) develop succession plans for the directors; and (viii) undertake additional activities within the scope of the primary functions of the committee as the committee or the board of directors may determine. The nominating and governance committee has from time to time engaged director search firms to assist it in identifying and evaluating potential board candidates. The nominating and governance committee met five times in 2003. The nominating and governance committee did not take action by written consent during 2003.

The nominating and governance committee will consider candidates nominated by shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Manpower’s by-laws. Under the Manpower’s by-laws, nominations other than those made by the board of directors or the nominating and governance committee, must be made pursuant to timely notice in proper written form to the secretary of Manpower. To be timely, a shareholder’s request to nominate a person for election to the board at an annual meeting of shareholders, together with the written consent of such person to serve as a director, must be received by the secretary of the Manpower not less than 90 days nor more than 150 days prior to the date of such annual meeting of shareholders. To be in proper written form, the notice must contain certain information concerning the nominee and the shareholder submitting the nomination.

Under Manpower’s corporate governance guidelines, no person who would be age 70 or older at the time of his or her election is eligible to stand for election to the board of directors. In addition, the board of directors has adopted guidelines for selecting candidates for election to the board of directors. Under these guidelines, each director should:

• be an individual of the highest character and integrity and have an inquiring mind, vision and the ability to work well with others;

• be free of any conflict of interest which would violate any applicable law or regulation or interfere with the proper performance of the responsibilities of a director;

• possess substantial and significant experience which would be of value of Manpower in the performance of the duties of a director; and

• have sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of Manpower in order to carry out the responsibilities of a director.

The nominating and governance committee will evaluate eligible shareholder-nominated candidates for election to the board of directors in accordance with these guidelines. The full text of the guidelines is attached as Appendix A to the charter of the nominating and governance committee, which is available on Manpower’s web site described above.

Manpower does not have a policy regarding board members’ attendance at the annual meeting of shareholders. The 2003 annual meeting of shareholders was the first meeting in several years that the non-management directors did not attend. We expect that at least a majority of the directors will attend the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders.

Remuneration of Directors

Effective July 29, 2003, the board of directors adopted a new compensation arrangement for non-employee directors. Under the new arrangement, the annual cash retainer has been increased from $50,000 per year to $60,000 per year. Non-employee directors are also entitled to receive $1,000 per board or committee meeting attended in person, or $500 per board or committee meeting attended telephonically, except for the chairmen of the board committees. The chairman of the audit committee is entitled to receive $3,000 for each committee meeting attended in person and $1,500 per committee meeting attended telephonically, and the other committee chairmen are entitled to receive $2,000 per committee meeting attended in person and $1,000 per committee meeting attended telephonically. In addition, each director is reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in connection with attending board of directors and committee meetings.

Except as described below, non-employee directors may elect to receive deferred stock under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan in lieu of the annual cash retainer (but not in lieu of the cash meeting fees). Elections may cover 50%, 75% or 100% of the annual cash retainer payable to the director for the election period to which the annual cash retainer is payable. An election period begins on January 1^st of each year or the date of the director’s initial appointment to the board of directors, whichever is later, and ends on the termination of a director’s tenure as a director or December 31^st of that year, whichever is earlier. The deferred stock will be granted to the director following the end of the election period to which the election applies. The number of shares of deferred stock granted to the director will be equal to the amount of the annual cash retainer to which the election applies, divided by the average of the closing prices of the Manpower common stock on the last trading day of each full or partial calendar quarter covered by the election period. Deferred stock will be settled in shares of Manpower common stock on a one-for-one basis generally within 30 days after the date of termination of a director’s tenure as a director. For the election period that ended on December 31, 2003, Messrs. Bouchard, Greenberg, and Zore elected, and Mr. Stevenson was required, to accept deferred stock in lieu of 100% of the annual cash retainer to which they were otherwise entitled, Ms. Burns, Mr. Davis and Ms. Ridgway elected to accept deferred stock in lieu of 50% of the annual cash retainer to which they were otherwise entitled and Mr. Walter elected to receive the annual cash retainer to which he was entitled in cash.

In addition, each non-employee director receives annually an option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan as additional compensation for service on the board of directors. Directors who join the board of directors after the date of grant receive an option over a prorated number of shares. Such options are exercisable during the director’s tenure and for a limited period thereafter.

Prior to July 29, 2003, directors had the right to elect, except for Mr. Stevenson who was required to elect, to receive an option to purchase shares of common stock in lieu of receiving payment of part or all of their annual fees in cash.

For each full year for which all such cash fees were waived, a director received an option over 10,000 shares of common stock, which number was adjusted based on the price per share of the common stock on the date of election relative to $28.00 for grants prior to November 5, 2001 and $28.38 for grants on or after November 5, 2001. The per share purchase price for each option awarded was equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted in place of cash fees are exercisable for the vested portion during the director’s tenure and a limited period thereafter. In November 2001, Mr. Zore agreed, and Mr. Stevenson was required, to accept stock options in lieu of all of their cash fees through November 2006, Mr. Bouchard agreed to accept stock options in lieu of 75% of his cash fees through November 2006, Mr. Davis agreed to accept stock options in lieu of 50% of his cash fees through November 2006, and Mr. Walter agreed to accept stock options in lieu of 50% of his cash fees through November 2002. In March 2002, Ms. Ridgway agreed to accept stock options in lieu of 50% of her cash fees through November 2006 and in November 2002 and 2003, Mr. Walter elected to receive his fees through November 2003 and 2004 in cash. The right to elect options in lieu of cash compensation was terminated as of July 29, 2003, except that elections in effect as of July 29, 2003 remain in effect. In addition, directors who were in office prior to July 29, 2003 for whom an election was not in effect

8

covering the period ending November 4, 2006 will continue to have the right to make elections under the prior compensation arrangement with respect to the first $50,000 of the annual cash retainer through November 2006. As a result, directors in office prior to July 29, 2003 will be entitled to elect to receive deferred stock as described above only for the excess of the new annual retainer over $50,000 for the period from July 29, 2003 to November 4, 2006.

Effective February 28, 2002, Mr. Hueneke’s full-time employment with Manpower ended. Mr. Hueneke entered into an agreement with us pursuant to which he relinquished his responsibility for Manpower’s operations in the United States and Canada and agreed to continue to assist us as a part-time employee through the orientation of his successor and the subsequent transition of management responsibilities for our operations in Latin America and the Asia Pacific region. The initial period of part-time employment expired February 28, 2003, and was extended through February 28, 2004. Pursuant to the agreement, we agreed to pay Mr. Hueneke his base salary and incentive bonus through February 28, 2002, plus the separation benefit in a lump sum amount equal to $1,520,234 due in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement. In addition, we paid Mr. Hueneke $314,108 during the initial period of part-time employment and $250,000 during the extension period. Mr. Hueneke has agreed not to compete with us or solicit employees to leave our employment during the period of employment and for two years after the date of his complete termination of employment, and to release all claims relating to his employment with us. Upon complete termination of his employment, payment of Mr. Hueneke’s benefits under our retirement plan, deferred compensation plan and non-qualified savings plan will be made or will begin, and we will continue to provide medical and dental benefits to Mr. Hueneke. On that date, all of the outstanding stock options held by Mr. Hueneke will become fully exercisable and will remain exercisable for one year following the date of complete termination of his employment with us. In addition, the shares of common stock to which Mr. Hueneke is entitled under our Deferred Stock Plan will be distributed to Mr. Hueneke as of January 2, 2005.

Participation is generally limited to our full-time employees. The option exercise price of all options granted under our plans to executive officers has been l00% of the closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange for the business day immediately prior to the date of grant. Directors of Manpower who are not full-time employees may participate in the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as described on page 8 hereof.

The following table summarizes certain information concerning option grants to our named executive officers during 2003:

Yoav Michaely	15,250	(4)	1.5	%	31.16	2/18/13		118,649

(1) All options were granted at 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant.

(2) Present value is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The grant date present value is based on a nine-year option life. Other assumptions used for the Black-Scholes option pricing model include a risk-free rate of return of 3.67%, a volatility factor of 39.3% and a dividend yield of 0.50% during the option life. The resulting value derived from the Black-Scholes model was reduced for each grant for lack of marketability and liquidity, as indicated below.

(3) These options were granted on February 18, 2003 and become exercisable as to 50% of the shares covered by the option on February 18, 2006 and February 18, 2007. The value derived from the Black-Scholes model was reduced by 37.5% for these options for lack of marketability and liquidity.

(4) These options were granted on February 18, 2003 and become exercisable as to 25% of the number of shares covered by the option on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. The value derived from the Black-Scholes model was reduced by 28.1% for these options for lack of marketability and liquidity.

The following table summarizes for each of the named executive officers the number of shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of options during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the dollar value realized upon exercise of options, the total number of shares of common stock underlying unexercised options held at December 31, 2003, exercisable and unexercisable, and the aggregate dollar value of in-the-money, unexercised options held at December 31, 2003, exercisable and unexercisable. Value realized upon exercise is the difference between the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the exercise date and the exercise or base price of the option. Value of unexercised, in-the-money options at fiscal year-end is the difference between its exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying common stock as of December 31, 2003, which was $47.08 per share. These values, unlike any amounts which may be set forth in the column headed “value realized” have not been, and may never be, realized. The underlying options have not been, and may never be, exercised. The actual gains, if any, on exercise will depend on the value of the common stock on the date of exercise. There can be no assurance that these values will be realized.

Stock Purchase Plans

We have adopted and maintain several employee stock purchase plans designed to encourage employees to purchase common stock. The plans are broad-based and are available to all U.S. employees, including qualifying temporary employees, and employees in certain other countries. The plans generally provide that employees accumulate funds through payroll deductions over a prescribed offering period of one to seven years and are entitled to purchase shares at a maximum discount of 15% from the market price at the beginning and/or end of the offering period. No more than $25,000 of common stock, measured by the market price as of the beginning of the offering period, may be purchased by any participating employee in any year.

Pension Plans

We maintain a broad-based qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for eligible U.S. employees which we refer to as the qualified plan. We also maintain a nonqualified, defined benefit, deferred compensation plan to provide retirement benefits for management and other highly compensated employees in the U.S. who are ineligible to participate in the qualified plan. We refer to this plan and the qualified plan as the U.S. pension plans. Some of our foreign subsidiaries maintain various pension and retirement plans.

Under the U.S. pension plans, a pension is payable upon retirement at age 65, or upon earlier termination if certain conditions are satisfied. As of February 29, 2000, the U.S. pension plans were frozen, and the pension benefits due to employees in the plans on that date were frozen. The pension benefit is based on years of credited service as of February 29, 2000 and the lesser of (i) the average annual compensation received during the last five consecutive calendar years prior to retirement, for employees already retired on February 29, 2000, or as of February 29, 2000, for employees not then retired, or (ii) $261,664. Compensation covered by the plans is base salary or hourly wages, unless paid entirely on a commission basis, in which case commissions of up to $20,000 per calendar year are taken into account. Bonuses, overtime pay or other kinds of extra compensation are not considered. Upon retirement at age 65 or later, Messrs. Joerres, Van Handel and Michaely will be entitled to an aggregate annual benefit equal to $11,882, $14,472 and $5,473, respectively. Ms. Beck and Mr. Lemonnier are not entitled to any benefits under the U.S. pension plans.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The executive compensation committee of the board of directors submits the following report on executive compensation. The committee consists of four directors who are “independent” within the meaning of the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The board of directors has adopted a charter for the executive compensation committee, which is available on Manpower’s web site at www.investor.manpower.com. During 2003, the committee was responsible for establishing the compensation of Mr. Joerres and Mr. Van Handel, subject to ratification by the board of directors. In addition, the committee has responsibility, based on the recommendations of the chief executive officer, for determining the compensation of other senior executives, including Ms. Beck, Mr. Lemonnier, and Mr. Michaely, and administering the Corporate Senior Management Incentive Plan. The committee also administers our stock option plans for employees (but not for directors) and our 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Savings Related Share Option Scheme, although the committee delegates the day-to-day administration of the 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Savings Related Share Option Scheme to an administrative committee.

Compensation Philosophy

The committee’s executive compensation philosophy is to provide competitive compensation programs to attract and retain executive talent, to use variable pay to reward executives for results that drive Manpower’s business strategy, and to use equity-based incentive plans to tie a portion of executive compensation to long-term common stock performance. In determining competitive compensation levels, the committee takes into account staffing industry practices, as well as the practices of other global companies that are of comparable size and complexity to Manpower. When making compensation decisions, the committee takes many factors into account, including the individual’s past and expected future contributions to Manpower’s success, the performance of individual business units and Manpower as a whole, the individual’s historical compensation, and any retention concerns.

Base salary levels for senior executives are determined based on the executive’s position, experience and performance, and competitive market data. Generally, base salary is benchmarked to the median of the relevant competitive market. To support Manpower’s pay for performance philosophy, annual incentives are based primarily on achieving objective financial performance goals, such as earnings per share, operating income and the cost of capital. For outstanding performance, total cash compensation (salary plus annual incentive) may exceed market median total cash compensation.

Equity-based awards for senior executives are generally made annually and are based on the executive’s position, experience and performance, prior equity-based compensation awards, and competitive equity-based compensation levels. The committee has awarded both stock options and restricted stock. Award levels are intended to provide above-median rewards for outstanding shareholder returns. Manpower’s pay for performance philosophy is reflected in the use of stock options beyond the senior executive ranks. We have periodically granted options to a broader group of employees to recognize and reward their strong performance. Approximately 570 employees received option grants in February 2003 and approximately 510 employees received option grants in February 2004.

The committee believes that senior executives should hold a meaningful stake in Manpower to align their economic interests with those of the shareholders. To this end, the committee adopted stock ownership guidelines in 2002. The initial stock ownership guidelines target stock ownership equal in value to three times base salary for the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer and one times base salary for all other executives who report directly to the chief executive officer. The committee has set a goal of five years for these executives to attain the targeted ownership levels. In determining whether targeted ownership levels have been met, the committee will take into account restricted stock, but will not take into account outstanding stock options. The

16

committee intends to revisit these stock ownership guidelines from time to time. As of December 31, 2003, two of our five executive officers, Mr. Joerres and Mr. Michaely, had attained the targeted ownership levels.

Corporate Senior Management Incentive Plan

In 2002, the committee established the Corporate Senior Management Incentive Plan for designated corporate executives of Manpower. At present, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer are the only participants in the incentive plan. The incentive plan includes an annual incentive plan and a provision for periodic grants of stock options. The annual incentive plan has two components. Under the first component, a participant is entitled to receive a cash award for attaining earnings per share and economic profit goals for the year. The committee establishes the earnings per share and economic profit goals and award opportunities for attaining these goals at the beginning of the year. Participation in the first component of the annual incentive plan by the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer was submitted to and approved by the shareholders at the 2002 annual meeting.

The second component of the annual plan provides for the payment of a cash incentive each year based on a participant’s achievement of certain operating objectives for the year. The committee establishes these operating objectives and award opportunities for achieving the objectives at the beginning of the year. Following the close of the year, the committee determines whether the objectives have been achieved and, if so, the amount of the award earned.

The committee determines the appropriate weighting of each goal at the beginning of the year. For 2003, each participant’s award opportunity was weighted 40% to the earnings per share goal, 40% to the economic profit goal and 20% to the operating objectives. For 2004, the committee set new earnings per share and economic profit goals and approved new operating objectives and maintained the same 40%, 40% and 20% respective weightings as in 2003.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

The committee discussed Mr. Joerres’ 2003 performance and compensation for 2003 and 2004 in executive session at meetings held in December, 2003, January, 2004 and February, 2004. In evaluating Mr. Joerres’ performance for 2003, the committee considered achievement of financial and operational goals, as well as Mr. Joerres’ leadership, relationships with the board of directors and customers, focus on succession planning and leadership team development and the management of acquisitions. Although the committee reviews Mr. Joerres’ base salary annually, it does not necessarily change his salary in any year. Mr. Joerres’ base salary for 2002 was $700,000 per year. For 2003, the committee approved and the board of directors ratified an increase in his base salary to $840,000. The committee based its decision on various factors including the scope of Mr. Joerres’ responsibilities, his skill, experience and performance and the compensation levels of executives who hold positions comparable to his at other companies. Consistent with its practice of not necessarily increasing salaries annually, the committee decided to leave Mr. Joerres’ base salary unchanged for 2004. Mr. Joerres’ incentive award for 2003 was determined in accordance with the incentive plan. Based on Manpower’s earnings per share and economic profit performance and the committee’s assessment of Mr. Joerres’ achievement of his 2003 operating objectives, the committee approved a cash award for Mr. Joerres of $1,264,000, which was above the target award level.

In February 2003, the committee granted Mr. Joerres 35,000 shares of restricted stock and an option to purchase 35,000 shares of common stock. In determining to make these grants and the number of shares covered these grants, the committee considered Mr. Joerres’ level of responsibility, his skill, experience and performance, the level of stock option grants previously made to him, the value of the option, Mr. Joerres’ past and current total compensation and compensation opportunities, and the compensation, including equity-based compensation, of executives who hold positions comparable to his position at other companies. The committee

17

specifically took into account the magnitude of the 2002 option grant. The committee was also mindful of its goal to increase the stock ownership levels of senior executives. The restricted stock vests as to 50% of the shares on the third anniversary of the date of grant and 50% of the shares on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The option to purchase 35,000 shares becomes exercisable as to 50% of the shares covered by the option on the third anniversary of the date of grant and 50% of the shares covered by the option on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant.

In February 2004, the committee granted Mr. Joerres 20,000 shares of restricted stock and an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock. In making this grant, the committee took into account the same factors described above for the 2003 grant. The restricted stock vests as to 50% of the shares on the second anniversary of the date of grant and 50% of the shares on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. The option to purchase 50,000 shares becomes exercisable as to 50% of the shares covered by the option on the second anniversary of the date of grant and 50% of the shares covered by the option on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant.

Mr. Van Handel’s base salary for 2003 was $460,000, which was increased from his base salary of $400,000 for 2002. The committee determined Mr. Van Handel’s base salary based on various factors including the scope of Mr. Van Handel’s responsibilities, his skill, experience and performance, and the compensation levels of executives who hold positions that are comparable to his at other companies, as well as the committee’s recognition of the increasing market demand for qualified chief financial officers. Mr. Van Handel’s incentive award for 2003 was determined in accordance with the incentive plan. Based on Manpower’s earnings per share and economic profit performance and the committee’s assessment of Mr. Van Handel’s achievement of his 2003 operating objectives, the committee approved a cash award for Mr. Van Handel of $692,667, which was above the target award level.

In February 2003, the committee granted Mr. Van Handel 13,500 shares of restricted stock and an option to purchase 13,500 shares of common stock. In making these grants, the committee took into consideration the same types of factors described above for Mr. Joerres’ 2003 grant, the magnitude of the 2002 option grant and the goal to increase stock ownership levels of senior executives. The restricted stock will vest and the option will become exercisable on the same basis as the restricted stock and option granted to Mr. Joerres in February 2003.

In February 2004, the committee granted Mr. Van Handel 7,500 shares of restricted stock and an option to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock. In making this grant, the committee considered the same factors that it considered for the 2003 grant. The restricted stock will vest and the option will become exercisable on the same basis as the restricted stock and option granted to Mr. Joerres in February 2004.

Under its current charter, the committee is responsible, based on the recommendations of the chief executive officer, for determining the compensation of Ms. Beck, Mr. Lemonnier and Mr. Michaely, including base salary, incentive compensation, the amounts and terms of any equity awards, and other material terms of their employment. The incentive bonuses for Ms. Beck, Mr. Lemonnier and Mr. Michaely were calculated by comparing actual performance against performance goals established by Mr. Joerres at the beginning of 2003. Mr. Joerres recommended, and the committee approved, incentive bonuses for 2003 to Ms. Beck, Mr. Lemonnier and Mr. Michaely. The committee also approved grants of restricted stock and options to Ms. Beck, Mr. Lemonnier and Mr. Michaely.

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public corporations for compensation over $1,000,000 for any fiscal year paid to the corporation’s chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated executive officers in service as of the end of any fiscal year. However, Section 162(m) also provides that qualifying performance-based compensation will not be subject to the deduction limit if certain

18

requirements are met. Where necessary for covered executives, the committee generally seeks to structure compensation amounts and plans that meet the requirements for deductibility under this provision. However, because of uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section 162(m) and the regulations issued thereunder, the committee cannot assure that compensation intended by the committee to satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) will in fact be deductible. In addition, the committee may implement compensation arrangements that do not satisfy these requirements for deductibility if it determines that such arrangements are appropriate under the circumstances.

The committee acts as the compensation committee of outside directors under Section 162(m), with responsibility for establishing, administering and certifying attainment of performance goals under the regulations promulgated under Section 162(m). This responsibility includes taking actions under the incentive plan as the committee considers appropriate in recognition of the requirements of Section 162(m), as well as making grants of equity awards where appropriate in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m).

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

We have an audit committee composed of four directors who are “independent” within the meaning of the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The board of directors has adopted a charter for the audit committee which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A. The audit committee charter is also available on our website at www.investor.manpower.com. The charter sets forth the responsibilities and powers of the audit committee with respect to our independent auditors, quarterly and annual financial statements, non-audit services, internal audit and accounting, risk assessment and risk management, business conduct and ethics, special investigations, use of advisors and other reporting and disclosure obligations, including the audit committee’s obligations as our qualified legal compliance committee.

In 2003, the audit committee met six times. Over the course of these meetings, the audit committee met with our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, other senior members of the finance department, the director of internal audit, our outside counsel and our independent auditors. During these meetings, the audit committee reviewed and discussed, among other things:

• the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors for 2003,

• our financial statements for each of the first three quarters of 2003, including the disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,”

• the implications of and our responsibilities under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and our implementation plan to address Section 404 compliance and reporting,

• the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules on our corporate governance documents, policies and procedures, including the audit committee’s charter,

• our annual internal and external audit plans and the internal and external staffing resources available to carry out our audit plans,

• internal audit results, including information technology systems audits, and the status of items identified in prior audits,

• our risk assessment and risk management framework, including the audit committee’s role and responsibilities related to fraud and the implications of SAS No. 99,

• the impact of new accounting pronouncements,

• current tax matters affecting us, including reporting compliance, audit activity, internal reorganizations and other tax planning,

• our compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the implementation of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and

• the results of the audit committee’s self-evaluation.

The audit committee met four times in private session with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and met five times in private session with the director of internal audit. Over the course of the private sessions with our independent auditors, the audit committee discussed the adequacy of our internal controls, the quality of financial reporting outside of the United States, our judgmental reserves, whether there were alternative treatments within GAAP in connection with our financial statements, and our personnel involved in the financial reporting process. The audit committee also confirmed that there were no material control deficiencies to be noted in connection with the 2002 audit and that they were receiving the full cooperation of management in the 2003 audit process. Over the course of the private sessions with our director of internal audit, the audit committee reviewed and discussed the adequacy of the internal audit department’s resources, the level of support and cooperation received by the internal audit department, the department’s independence from management, management’s response to recommendations of the internal audit department and the scope of the internal audit.

21

In addition to the meetings discussed above, the chairman of the audit committee reviewed with management and our independent auditors our financial statements for each quarter of 2003 prior to the quarterly release of earnings.

In February 2004, the independent auditors and members of senior management reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 with the audit committee, together with our disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” This discussion included, among other things:

• critical accounting policies and practices used in the preparation of our financial statements,

• the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives on our financial statements, including the adoption of significant accounting pronouncements and recent SEC interpretive guidance,

• confirmation that there were no material audit adjustments proposed by the independent auditors,

• confirmation that there were no matters of significant disagreement between management and the independent auditors arising during the audit, and

• other matters required to be discussed by SAS No. 61.

At this meeting, the audit committee met privately with the independent auditors and discussed our personnel involved in the financial reporting process, the impact of continuing developments in GAAP, our implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and our judgmental reserves. The audit committee also confirmed with the independent auditors that there were no material control deficiencies noted as part of the 2003 audit. The audit committee also met privately with the chairperson of our disclosure committee and discussed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and the overall quality of our disclosures. In addition, the audit committee also met in separate private sessions with the director of internal audit and management to discuss the staffing of the internal audit department.

The audit committee has reviewed the fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to us with respect to 2002 and 2003, which consist of the following:

Audit Fees.    The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for both the audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 and the review of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for 2002 and 2003 were $1,721,300 in 2002 and $2,517,200 in 2003. These fees were approved by the audit committee in December, 2002 and October, 2003, and at two subsequent meetings in 2003 and 2004. The fee increase from 2002 to 2003 was primarily due to changes in the scope of the audit and the impact of currency exchange rates.

Audit-Related Fees.    The aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for audit-related services were $15,000 in 2002 and $264,100 in 2003. These services in 2002 consisted of U.S. pension and other retirement plan audits and related consultation. These services in 2003 consisted of audits and reviews of pension and other retirement plans and related consultation, assistance and consultation regarding the application of accounting principles, assistance in the registration and issuance of securities, advisory services related to our Section 404 documentation, due diligence services and assistance with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filing related to the acquisition of Right Management Consultants, Inc., certification of a government grant, and statutory certification of a new holding company structure.

Tax Fees.    The aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for tax services were $100,257 in 2002 and $141,410 in 2003. These services in 2002 consisted of assistance in the preparation and filing of certain

22

international tax returns and tax consultation in various countries. These services in 2003 consisted of assistance in the preparation and filing of certain international tax returns, a feasibility study related to the use of foreign tax losses, advice on the feasibility of our current entity structure for one of our subsidiaries, assistance with a request for information from a foreign tax authority and consultation regarding withholding taxes.

All Other Fees.    The aggregate fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for all other services were $173,978 in 2002 and $22,400 in 2003. These services in 2002 consisted of assistance with employment and staffing matters in various countries, including a remuneration study. These services in 2003 consisted of transfer pricing advice and documentation and value added tax training.

Our Policy on Services Provided by the Independent Auditors was initially adopted by the audit committee in March 2002 and has since been revised several times in response to regulatory requirements. The Policy sets forth the types of services that we may and may not engage our auditors to provide, the approval requirements for permitted services and related disclosure and reporting standards. A copy of the Policy is available on our web site at www.investor.manpower.com. Each of the services described under the headings “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees” was approved in 2003 in accordance with the Policy.

The audit committee has also received the written disclosures and confirmation from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by Independence Standards Board No. 1 and discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP their independence. In particular, at each regular meeting during 2003 and at the meeting in February 2004 the audit committee reviewed and discussed the non-audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to us during 2003 that are described above. The audit committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services described above is compatible with the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and satisfied itself as to the auditor’s independence. The audit committee believes that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been objective and impartial in conducting the 2003 audit, and believes that the provision of these services has not adversely affected the integrity of our auditing and financial reporting processes.

In performing all of the functions described above, the audit committee acts only in an oversight capacity. The audit committee does not complete its reviews of the matters described above prior to our public announcements of financial results and, necessarily, in its oversight role, the audit committee relies on the work and assurances of our management, which has the primary responsibility for our financial statements and reports, and of the independent auditors, who, in their report, express an opinion on the conformity of our annual financial statements to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

In reliance on these reviews and discussions, and the report of the independent auditors, the audit committee has recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

2.  RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

As previously disclosed, on April 10, 2002 we dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent public accountants and appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our new independent public accountants. The decision to dismiss Arthur Andersen LLP and to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was recommended by the audit committee and approved by the board of directors.

Arthur Andersen LLP’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the subsequent interim period through April 10, 2002, there were no disagreements between us and Arthur Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report.

None of the reportable events described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 or during the subsequent interim period through April 10, 2002.

We provided Arthur Andersen LLP with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. A copy of Arthur Andersen LLP’s letter, dated April 16, 2002, stating their agreement with such statements is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 16, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the subsequent interim period through April 10, 2002, we did not consult with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Subject to ratification by the shareholders at the annual meeting, the audit committee of the board of directors has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audited our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the annual meeting and have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.

If the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the selection of our independent auditors will be reconsidered by the audit committee.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal shall constitute ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. Abstentions will not be counted as voting and, therefore, will have no impact on the approval of the proposal.

The board of directors recommends you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004 and your proxy will be so voted unless you specify otherwise.

24

SUBMISSION OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

In accordance with our by-laws, nominations, other than by or at the direction of the board of directors, of candidates for election as directors at the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders and any other shareholder proposed business to be brought before the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders must be received by us no later than January 27, 2005. To be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement solicited by the board of directors, shareholder proposals for consideration at the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders must be received by us at our principal executive offices by October 27, 2004. Such nominations or proposals must be submitted to Mr. Michael J. Van Handel, Secretary, Manpower Inc., 5301 North Ironwood Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53217. To avoid disputes as to the date of receipt, it is suggested that any shareholder proposal be submitted by certified mail, return receipt requested.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and officers to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing their ownership, and changes in their ownership, of our common stock. Copies of these reports must also be furnished to us. Based solely on a review of these copies we believe that during 2003 all filing requirements were met.

OTHER MATTERS

Although management is not aware of any other matters that may come before the annual meeting, if any such matters should be presented, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote such proxy as recommended by the board of directors or, if no such recommendation is given, in their discretion.

Shareholders may obtain a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K at no cost by requesting a copy on our Internet website at www.investor.manpower.com or by writing to Mr. Michael J. Van Handel, Secretary, Manpower Inc., 5301 North Ironwood Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53217.

APPENDIX A

CHARTER

AUDIT COMMITTEE

OF THE

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF MANPOWER INC.

(Revised October 28, 2003)

I. PURPOSE.

The purpose of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Manpower Inc. is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of financial accounting and reporting practices of the Company, the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Company, the qualifications and independence of the Company’s independent auditors, the performance of the Company’s independent auditors and the Company’s internal audit function and compliance with applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements and to prepare the report that the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement. The Committee will also serve as the Company’s qualified legal compliance committee. The primary responsibility of the Committee is to oversee the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors and to report the results of its activities to the Board of Directors. It is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management of the Company is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements, and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements.

II. COMMITTEE COMPOSITION.

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three members, consisting solely of “independent” directors who are “financially literate” or become “financially literate” within a reasonable period of time after their appointment to the Committee. At least one member of the Committee shall have accounting or related financial management experience, as the Board of Directors interprets such qualification in its business judgment. The Board of Directors may determine that at least one member of the Committee shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A director is “independent” if he or she meets the requirements for independence set forth in the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

A “financially literate” director is one whom the Board of Directors in its business judgment deems to be financially literate. Committee members may enhance their familiarity with finance and accounting by participating in educational programs.

The members of the Committee will be appointed by the Board of Directors after taking into account the recommendations of the Nominating and Governance Committee. A member will serve until his or her successor is appointed, until his or her resignation from the Committee, until his or her position on the Committee is eliminated due to a reduction in the size of the Committee, until he or she is removed from the Committee by the Board of Directors, or until his or her service on the Board of Directors terminates. The chairperson of the Committee will be the member of the Committee appointed to serve in such capacity by the Board of Directors from time to time.

Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, no member of the Committee will simultaneously serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies.
