"In the past year, India has faced some serious economic challenges, including
its worst drought in 37 years and a slowing rate of economic growth," Green
said. "Yet the world's most populous nation remains a global success story in
terms of job growth. India has been reporting the strongest quarterly hiring
expectations globally for the last six quarters and preliminary research shows
that strong hiring optimism should continue at least into the first quarter of
2010."

Last month, Indian employers reported the most optimistic forecast among all
35 countries and territories participating in the Manpower Employment Outlook
Survey of employer hiring expectations. India's Outlook improved by 6
percentage points quarter-over-quarter, but weakened by 14 percentage points
when compared to 4Q 2008.

"Manpower is passionately committed to the dignity of people and the
meaningful role of work in their lives. Investing in the wellbeing of young
women and preparing them for family-supporting jobs leads to increased
self-confidence and pride, as well as an inclusive and sustainable workforce.
When we invest in job training or education for a young woman, down the road,
she benefits, her children benefit and her community benefits. The vitality
of societies and their economies are intimately tied to the health and
wellbeing of young women," Green said.

"We recognize that an inclusive workforce creates diversity of thought,
perspective, background and experience," said Manpower Inc. Chairman and CEO
Jeff Joerres. "Diversity in a workplace sets a pace and tone that energizes
any organization. Today, women make up almost 40 percent of Manpower's
Executive Management Team and over 40 percent of country managers worldwide
are women. Our talented women are a source of immense pride for our company."

Earlier this year, Manpower called for greater recognition of the role of
women in the post-crisis labor market at the Annual Meeting of the World
Economic Forum in Davos with the release of the company's white paper on women
as an underleveraged solution in the workforce. To view the full paper, visit
