The Reporting Persons are disappointed in the failure of Management and
the Board of Directors of General Employment Enterprises to increase shareholder
value. We believe that the Company's corporate structure is damaging returns in
all economic environments and we urge the Board to pursue a sale of the company
or other strategic alternatives immediately.
The Reporting Persons may acquire additional Common Stock of the
Company or dispose of Common Stock of the Company at any time and from time to
time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The
