Performance Graph
Set forth below is a graph for the periods ending December 31, 2003—2008 comparing the cumulative total shareholder
return on our common stock with the cumulative total return of companies in the Standard & Poor’s 400 Midcap Stock Index
and the Standard & Poor’s Supercomposite Human Resources and Employment Services Index. We are included in the
Standard & Poor’s Supercomposite Human Resources and Employment Services Index and we estimate that we constituted
approximately 17.4% of the total market capitalization of the companies included in the index. The graph assumes a $100
investment on December 31, 2003 in our common stock, the Standard & Poor’s 400 Midcap Stock Index and the Standard
& Poor’s Supercomposite Human Resources and Employment Services Index and assumes the reinvestment of all dividends.
