ITEM 9.  SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S

     On September 11, 1998, Kelly Services Inc. ("KSI"), through its wholly 
owned subsidiaries Kelly Services Deutschland GmbH and Kelly Services 
Zeitarbeit GmbH, acquired all of the issued and outstanding quotas of 
Workshop Zeitarbeit GmbH, Workshop Zeitarbeit GmbH (Munich), WorkLine 
Personnel-Marketing GmbH and WorkNet EDV-Services GmbH.  The companies
are engaged in the business of providing employees on a temporary or permanent 
basis.

     KSI delivered 31,488 shares of its Class A Common Stock from Treasury as 
part of the consideration for the quotas.  Subject to satisfaction of the 
conditions in the agreement and adjustment based on the future price of KSI 
Class A Common Stock and currency exchange rates, KSI will deliver up to 
approximately 23,600 additional shares over the next three years.  The shares 
of KSI stock were and will be delivered pursuant to an agreement among KSI, 
its subsidiaries and the holders of the quotas of the Workshop group of 
companies and Regulation S.  The owners of the Workshop group of companies 
represented that they were not U.S. persons, the sale and issuance occurred in 
Germany in an offshore transaction, offering restrictions were implemented 
pursuant to the agreement, and the transaction was otherwise in compliance with 
Regulation S.  There were no underwriters or other distributors.
