J. IRA HARRIS STEPS DOWN FROM MANPOWER INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

MILWAUKEE, WI, USA, 3 December 2002 – Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) has announced that J. Ira Harris is stepping down from its board of directors after 11 years of service, effective today.  

“I’ve reached a point in life where it is necessary to balance my business and personal priorities, so I’ve decided that it is time to step down from my role on the Manpower board,“ said Harris.  “Manpower has been one of the most interesting companies to be associated with over the years, and I’ve enjoyed every one of my 11 years of service on the Manpower board,” he added.

Harris is Chairman of J. I. Harris & Associates, a consulting firm, and Vice Chairman of The Pritzker Organization, LLC, a merchant banking investment management services firm.  He was Senior Managing Director of the investment banking firm of Lazard Freres & Co., LLC until December 1997.  He joined the Manpower Inc. board of directors in August, 1991.

“Ira has been a great asset to Manpower and its shareholders, working through several interesting transitions – from the Blue Arrow transition through the CEO succession,” said Jeffrey A. Joerres, Chairman & CEO of Manpower Inc.   “I want to publicly thank Ira for his service to our company and wish him well in his many other endeavors.”

The Manpower Inc. board of directors has initiated its normal succession planning process and will be reviewing candidates to replace Harris in the near future, according to Joerres.  With Harris’ departure, the board currently consists of eight members.
