Manpowergroup Inc (MAN), Kelly Services, Inc. (KELYA), Robert Half International Inc. (RHI): The 3 Best Companies for the Jobs Recovery

Page 2 of 2

We’ll see how it plays out when Kelly Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:KELYA) reports in two weeks, but with two-thirds of its revenues derived domestically, expect it to be closer to Robert Half International Inc. (NYSE:RHI) than Manpower, particularly as Barrett Business Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:BBSI) just reported its results, and with it being a completely U.S.-based employment agency, it saw a 35% surge in revenues.

I don’t think this rise in temporary employment is a temporary situation and think these agencies make for a good play on the jobs market, even if growing temp help isn’t good for the long-term health of the economy. But because Manpower derives 85% of its revenues from outside the U.S., I’d be leery about making a bet there.
