NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Kelly Services,
Inc. (KELYA: $18) has been picked by
Standard & Poor's Equity Research as its Focus Stock of the
Week. KELYA carries S&P's highest investment
recommendation of 5-STARS, or Strong Buy. Kelly Services
offers staffing services, placing employees in areas such as office
services, finance and accounting, creative services, education,
engineering, information technology, law, science, and health
care.
"We think KELYA's focus on the placement of workers to fill
temporary, non-professional positions leaves it very well situated
for the current market environment," said Michael Jaffe, Human Resources & Employment
Services Equity Analyst at Standard & Poor's Equity Research.
"That view stems from the traditional order of labor
recoveries, under which businesses typically show caution in their
practices, and initially expand their staffs by adding workers in
the areas that KELYA focuses on. We also think the company
will benefit in this expected recovery from a number of steps taken
during the business downturn to cut costs and improve
efficiencies."
