May Jobs Report & Employment Situation; Adecco Staffing North America Executives To Assess Bureau of Labor Statistics Jobs Repo

Situation Overview: The April economic snapshot painted
a mixed picture of the country's employment climate, and suggested
that the economy was heading for more moderate but still healthy
growth. However, we still see a strong demand for workers as evidenced
by the following factors:

   --  Employers expect this year's college hiring to be up 13.8%
        from last year, according to the National Association of
        Colleges and Employers.

   --  The Labor Department reports that about 143 million Americans
        have jobs right now, the most ever in history.

   --  The payroll report, which shows the net number of jobs gained,
        has shown a steady addition of jobs to the economy - a monthly
        average of 174,000 for the past year.

   These positive indicators make the May Employment Situation
Report, to be released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday,
June 2nd, heavily anticipated. The May jobs report will help
employers, workers and economists assess the strength of workforce
landscape and help them prepare for the remainder of 2006.
