Manpower Reports 4^th Quarter and Full Year 2007 Results

MILWAUKEE, WI, USA, February 1, 2008 – Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) today reported that net earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 increased 42 percent to $1.63 from $1.15 in the prior year period. Net earnings from continuing operations in the quarter increased to $133.1 million from $99.6 million a year earlier. Revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $5.6 billion, an increase of 20 percent from the year earlier period, or an increase of 9 percent in constant currency.

Included in the fourth quarter results is $4.0 million ($2.5 million after tax, or 3 cents per diluted share) related to reorganization charges at Jefferson Wells. Additionally, net earnings from continuing operations in the fourth quarter were favorably impacted by 17 cents per diluted share, as foreign currencies were relatively stronger compared to the prior year period.

Jeffrey A. Joerres, Manpower Chairman and CEO said, “Our geographic balance and broad portfolio of services drove strong results in the fourth quarter and for the year. Europe, Asia and our emerging markets performed exceptionally well. Additionally, Right Management, our outplacement and organizational consulting company, had strong results in the fourth quarter.

“Our position globally has strengthened significantly throughout 2007, which gives us confidence as we move into 2008.

“We are anticipating diluted net earnings per share for the first quarter of 2008 to be in the range of 78 to 82 cents. This includes an estimated favorable currency impact of 8 cents per diluted share.”

Net earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $5.73, an increase of 65 percent from $3.48 in 2006. Net earnings from continuing operations were $484.7 million compared to $305.7 million in the prior year. Revenues for the year were $20.5 billion, an increase of 17 percent from the prior year, or an increase of 9 percent in constant currency.

Included in the full year 2007 results is the favorable impact of the revised French payroll tax calculation of $1.05 per diluted share. As disclosed in the Company’s 8-K filed in July 2007, this revised calculation no longer applies after September 30, 2007. Additionally, results from continuing operations were favorably impacted by 35 cents due to changes in foreign currencies compared to the prior year.
