Manpower Reports 1^st Quarter 2007 Results

MILWAUKEE, WI, USA, April 20, 2007 – Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that net earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 more than doubled to $59.5 million, or 69 cents per diluted share, compared to $29.5 million, or 33 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Revenues for the first quarter were $4.5 billion, an increase of 17 percent from the year earlier period.

Results for the first quarter were favorably impacted by 5 cents per diluted share as foreign currencies were relatively stronger compared to the first quarter of 2006. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 10 percent over the prior year period. Included in prior year net earnings of 59 cents per diluted share is 26 cents per diluted share of earnings related to discontinued operations. Also included in prior year net earnings is a 16 cents per diluted share charge related to reorganization costs and a global cost reduction initiative.

Jeffrey A. Joerres, Manpower Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The strength of our European geography combined with company-wide operational excellence resulted in a very strong first quarter for Manpower.

“The Manpower team is executing extremely well, our Other EMEA segment (Europe excluding France and Italy) increased profitability by 144 percent, while Manpower France, our single largest operation, increased profitability by 33 percent on a constant currency basis. The U.S. operation, expectedly, experienced softness in revenue, but realized an increase in profitability of 22 percent.

“Our ability to deliver such strong earnings, given the softness in the U.S. market, demonstrates the strength of our geographic and business mix as well as the underlying quality, talent and dedication of our people throughout the world.

“Given the current trends, we anticipate our second quarter diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.12 to $1.16, which includes an estimated favorable currency impact of 6 cents.”

In conjunction with its first quarter earnings release, Manpower will broadcast its conference call live over the Internet on April 20, 2007 at 7:30 a.m. CDT (8:30 a.m. EDT).
