Manpower Inc. Withdraws Fourth Quarter 2008 Guidance
MILWAUKEE, Dec 22, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --

Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) announced today that due to continued declines in the global labor markets and changes in
foreign currencies, it is withdrawing its revenue and earnings guidance for the fourth quarter of 2008.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060221/CGTU012LOGO)

Jeffrey A. Joerres, Manpower Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, quot;We continue to see further weakening in
demand for our services in most of our markets due to the deteriorating economic environment. We anticipate that demand for
our services will be especially weak in December as we are hearing that many of our light industrial clients are taking prolonged
plant shut downs around the holidays compared to last year.quot;

In connection with its third quarter earnings release on October 21, 2008, the Company estimated a fourth quarter revenue
decline of 9 to 11%, or 5 to 7% in constant currency. During the two months ended November 30, 2008, the Company
experienced a revenue decline of 20%, or 11% in constant currency, compared to the prior year period. On an average daily
basis revenues declined 17%, or 8% in constant currency.

As a result of the weaker operating environment, the Company is taking measures to align its cost base with the lower revenue
levels. Accordingly, the Company plans to take a restructuring charge in the fourth quarter related to employee severance and
office closure costs.

Joerres further stated that quot;the Company's liquidity and financial strength is strong. As of the end of November the company
had cash of $675 million and total debt of $857 million, bringing our net debt position to $182 million, an improvement of $158
million so far this quarter. This gives us greater flexibility and more resilience during these challenging economic times.quot;

In conjunction with this release, Manpower will hold a conference call on Monday, December 22, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. CST (9:30
a.m. EST). Interested parties are invited to listen to the broadcast live over the Internet by logging on to

View Summary Manpower Inc. Withdraws Fourth Quarter 2008 Guidance 12/22/2008

  • 1. Manpower Inc. Withdraws Fourth Quarter 2008 Guidance MILWAUKEE, Dec 22, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) announced today that due to continued declines in the global labor markets and changes in foreign currencies, it is withdrawing its revenue and earnings guidance for the fourth quarter of 2008. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20060221/CGTU012LOGO) Jeffrey A. Joerres, Manpower Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, quot;We continue to see further weakening in demand for our services in most of our markets due to the deteriorating economic environment. We anticipate that demand for our services will be especially weak in December as we are hearing that many of our light industrial clients are taking prolonged plant shut downs around the holidays compared to last year.quot; In connection with its third quarter earnings release on October 21, 2008, the Company estimated a fourth quarter revenue decline of 9 to 11%, or 5 to 7% in constant currency. During the two months ended November 30, 2008, the Company experienced a revenue decline of 20%, or 11% in constant currency, compared to the prior year period. On an average daily basis revenues declined 17%, or 8% in constant currency. As a result of the weaker operating environment, the Company is taking measures to align its cost base with the lower revenue levels. Accordingly, the Company plans to take a restructuring charge in the fourth quarter related to employee severance and office closure costs. Joerres further stated that quot;the Company's liquidity and financial strength is strong. As of the end of November the company had cash of $675 million and total debt of $857 million, bringing our net debt position to $182 million, an improvement of $158 million so far this quarter. This gives us greater flexibility and more resilience during these challenging economic times.quot; In conjunction with this release, Manpower will hold a conference call on Monday, December 22, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. CST (9:30 a.m. EST).
