                        MANPOWER INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

              For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

(1)Basis of Presentation
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals
have been condensed or ommitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's latest annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

(2)Accounting Policies
Intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and the excess of cost over 
the fair value of net assets acquired. Trademarks are amortized on a straight-
line basis over their useful lives.  The excess of cost over the fair value of
net assets acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life,
estimated based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each individual 
acquisition, ranging from five to twenty years.

(3)Operational Results
The information furnished reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for
the periods presented.  Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. 

(4)Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes has been computed using the estimated annual 
effective tax rate, based on currently available information. 

(5)Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement
On April 1, 1996, the Company entered into a $275 million unsecured revolving 
credit agreement which includes a $60 million commitment to be used exclusively 
for standby letters of credit.  As of June 30, 1996, $17.5 million of Yen 
denominated borrowings is outstanding under this multicurrency facility.  The 
interest rate and facility fee payable on the total line vary based upon the
Company's financial performance, debt rating, and borrowing level, and are 
currently at LIBOR plus .225% and .125%, respectively.  The facility matures on
May 15, 1999, but may be extended for an additional two years with the lenders' 
consent.  The agreement requires, among other things, that the Company comply 
with minimum tangible net worth levels and interest coverage and debt-to-
capitalization ratios.  This agreement replaced the Company's $240 million 
unsecured revolving credit agreement.

(6)Dividend
On April 29, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of 
$.07 per share which was paid on June 14, 1996 to shareholders of record on 
May 24, 1996.

(7)Interest and Other Expenses
In April, the Company recorded an $8.5 million gain on proceeds received from an
equity interest and note related to the sale of Blue Arrow Personnel Services
Limited in 1991.  The Company had previously deferred recognition of the equity
interest and the note due to uncertainties regarding their eventual realization.


      
(8)Acquisitions of Businesses
During the first six months of 1996, the Company acquired Teamwork Sverige AB, 
the largest employment services organization in Sweden, and several United 
States franchises.  The consolidated financial statements include the operating
results of each business from the date of acquisition.  Pro forma results of 
operations have not been presented because the effects of these acquisitions 
were not significant.  The total consideration for these acquisitions was $37.7
million.

Operating Results - Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
Second quarter 1996 revenues increased 6.5% to $1,460.6 million.  Revenues were
negatively impacted 4.5% due to changes in currency exchange rates between 
years. Volume, as measured by billable hours of branch operations, increased 
8.0% in the quarter.  All of the Company's major markets experienced revenue 
increases, including the United States (14.3%), Manpower-United Kingdom (7.7% in
Pound Sterling), and France (1.7% in French Francs).  The low revenue growth 
rate in France was expected after the record revenue levels of 1995 and the 
economic slowdown in France which started in late 1995, and represents an 
improvement over the first quarter 1996 results.

Cost of services, which consists of payroll and related expenses of temporary 
workers, decreased as a percentage of revenues to 81.6% in 1996 from 82.1% in
1995.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in payroll tax 
and insurance costs in certain of the Company's major markets.

Selling and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue to 
15.0% in 1996 from 14.2% in 1995. This increase is primarily due to the decrease
in revenues in France without a proportional decrease in expenses. Excluding the
impact of changes in foreign currency, selling and administrative expenses 
increased 16.7% for the quarter.

Net interest and other totaled $8.8 million of income in the second quarter of 
1996 compared to $3.6 million of expense in the second quarter of 1995. During 
the second quarter of 1996, the Company recorded an $8.5 million gain on 
proceeds received from an equity interest and note related to the sale of Blue
Arrow Personnel Services Limited in 1991.  The Company had previously deferred
recognition of the equity interest and the note due to uncertainties regarding 
their eventual realization.  The remaining change in net interest and other 
income/expenses is primarily due to an increase in interest income, $2.0 million
in the second quarter of 1996 compared to $1.3 million in the second quarter of 
1995, and a reduction in interest expense, $1.5 million in the second quarter of
1996 compared to $3.5 million in 1995.  The decrease in interest expense is due 
to lower worldwide borrowing levels as the Company converted its subordinated 
convertible debentures in October of 1995.

The Company provided income taxes at an estimated rate of 35% which is equal to 
the expected annual effective rate for 1996.  The Company's effective income tax
rate for 1995 was 38.5%.
                  
Operating Results - Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
Revenues for the first six months of 1996 increased  7.7% to $2,769.8 million.
Volume, as measured by billable hours of branch operations, increased 6.9% for
the six month period.  Major markets experiencing revenue increases included the
United States (12.4%) and Manpower-United Kingdom (12.0% in Pound Sterling). 
France experienced a slight decrease in revenues (0.6% in French Francs) which 
was expected after the record revenue levels of 1995 and the economic slowdown 
in France which started in late 1995.

Cost of services, which consists of payroll and related expenses of temporary 
workers, decreased as a percentage of revenues to 81.4% in 1996 from 82.0% in 
1995.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in payroll tax and
insurance costs in certain of the Company's major markets.



Selling and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenues to 
15.4% in 1996 from 14.8% in 1995.  This increase is primarily due to the 
decrease in revenues in France without a proportional decrease in expenses.  
Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency, selling and administrative
expenses increased 15.1% for the six month period.

Net interest and other totaled $9.0 million of income in the first six months of
1996 compared to $6.0 million of expense in the first six months of 1995. As 
discussed above, the Company recorded an $8.5 million gain in the second quarter
of 1996.  The remaining change is primarily due to an increase in interest 
income, which was $4.1 million in the first six months of 1996 compared to 
$2.6 million in the first six months of 1995, and a reduction in interest 
expense, $3.2 million in the first six months of 1996 compared to $6.7
million in 1995.  The decrease in interest expense is due to lower worldwide 
borrowing levels as the Company converted its subordinated convertible 
debentures in October of 1995.

The Company provided income taxes at an estimated rate of 35% which is equal to 
the expected annual effective rate of 1996.  The Company's effective income tax 
rate for 1995 was 38.5%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities was $5.4 million in the first six months 
of 1996 compared to cash used in operating activities of $14.6 million in the 
first six months of 1995. The change reflects the higher earnings level in 1996
offset by a larger increase in working capital requirements in the first six 
months of 1996 compared to the first six months of 1995.  Cash provided by 
operating activities before working capital changes was $90.7 million in the 
first six months of 1996 compared to $62.4 million in 1995.

During the first six months of 1996, the Company acquired Teamwork Sverige AB, 
the largest employment services organization in Sweden, and several United 
States franchises.  The total cash consideration paid for these acquisitions 
was $31.2 million.

The Company increased its capital expenditures to $22.3 million in the first six
months of 1996 from $15.7 million during the first six months of 1995.  These 
expenditures primarily consist of computer equipment and office furniture used 
in the branch office network.  

During the first six months of 1996, the Company had net additional borrowings 
of $13.3 million compared to $5.3 million in the first six months of 1995.  The
additional borrowings were primarily used to support working capital growth.

Accounts receivable increased $56.0 million to $1,099.7 million at June 30, 1996
from $1,043.7 million at December 31, 1995.  The change represents a $32.4 
million decrease due to the change in foreign exchange rates offset by a 
general increase in receivables due to the increased sales levels in the 
Company's major markets.

The Company continues to carry reserves related to the strategic restructuring 
plan started in 1989.  No changes have been made to the reserve estimates during
the first six months of 1996.            

On April 1, 1996, the Company entered into a $275 million unsecured revolving 
credit agreement which includes a $60 million commitment to be used exclusively
for standby letters of credit.  The interest rate and facility fee payable on 
the total line vary based upon the Company's financial performance, debt rating,
and borrowing level, and are currently at LIBOR plus .225% and .125%, 
respectively.  The facility matures on May 15, 1999, but may be extended for
an additional two years with the lenders' consent.  The agreement requires,
among other things, that the Company comply with minimum tangible net worth 
levels and interest coverage and debt-to-capitalization ratios.  This agreement 
replaced the Company's $240 million unsecured revolving credit agreement.

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had borrowings of $17.5 million outstanding 
under its $275 million 



U.S. revolving credit facility, and borrowings of $58.6 million outstanding 
under its U.S. commercial paper program.  The commercial paper borrowings have 
been classified as long-term debt due to the availability to refinance them on 
a long-term basis under the revolving credit facility.

In addition, the Company and some of its foreign subsidiaries maintain separate
lines of credit with foreign financial institutions to meet short-term working 
capital needs.  As of June 30, 1996, such lines totaled $167.1 million, of which
$138.7 million was unused.

On April 29, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of 
$.07 per share which was paid on June 14, 1996 to shareholders of record on May 
24, 1996.
