Exhibit 99.1

KELLY SERVICES® REPORTS 2nd QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

TROY, MI (August 5, 2015) -- Kelly Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: KELYA) (Nasdaq: KELYB), a leader in providing workforce solutions, today announced results for the second quarter of 2015.

Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the second quarter of 2015 totaled $1.4 billion, a 2% decrease (a 4% increase on a constant currency basis) compared to the corresponding quarter of 2014.

Earnings from operations for the second quarter of 2015 totaled $11.5 million, compared to $5.9 million reported for the second quarter of 2014. Included in the results of operations in the second quarter of 2014 are restructuring charges of $1.8 million. Excluding the restructuring charges, earnings from operations were $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2014.

Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2015 were $0.18 compared to $0.07 per share in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.10 in the second quarter of 2014.

Commenting on the second quarter, Camden stated, “I’m pleased to report that Kelly once again delivered strong operating leverage and improved returns. On a constant currency basis, we grew second quarter revenue and held our expenses relatively flat, dropping more than half of our gross profit growth to the bottom line. Last year’s investments in PT and OCG are yielding results, and we are executing a strategy that clearly aligns with market trends and customer needs.”

Kelly also reported that on August 4, its board of directors declared a dividend of $0.05 per share. The dividend is payable September 8 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 18.

In conjunction with its second quarter earnings release, Kelly Services, Inc. will host a conference call at 9:00 a.m. (ET) on August 5, to review the results and answer questions. The call may be accessed in one of the following ways:

KELLY SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) information excluding the restructuring charges is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2015 financial performance and increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding these items allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period operating performance with the operating results of prior periods. These non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings per share. As a result, Management considers these measures, along with reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's financial performance. Management believes that these measures provide greater transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) Restructuring charges in 2014 relate to costs incurred for exiting the staffing business in Sweden and closing branches in Australia.
