    This
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Schedule&#160;14D-9</FONT>
    relates to the tender offer by PSQ, LLC, a Kentucky limited
    liability company (&#147;PSQ&#148;), pursuant to which PSQ has
    offered to purchase up to 2,500,000 of the outstanding shares of
    Common Stock of the Company, at a price of $0.60 per share, net
    to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms
    and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated
    April&#160;13, 2009 and the related Letter of Transmittal
    (which, together with any amendments or supplements,
    collectively, constitute the &#147;Tender Offer&#148;). If more
    than 2,500,000&#160;shares of Common Stock are validly tendered
    in the Tender Offer, the number of shares purchased from each
    tendering shareholder will be cut back proportionately to an
    amount equal to the product of the shares tendered by each such
    tendering shareholder and the percentage amount equal to the
    quotient of 2,500,000 over the number of shares of Common Stock
    validly tendered in the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is
    described in a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule&#160;TO
    (together with any amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto,
    the &#147;Schedule&#160;TO&#148;) filed by PSQ with the
    Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) on
    April&#160;13, 2009. The foregoing summary of the Tender Offer
    is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed description
    and explanation contained in the Offer to Purchase and related
    Letter of Transmittal, copies of which have been filed as
    Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) hereto, respectively, and are
    incorporated herein by reference.

    The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to a Securities Purchase
    and Tender Offer Agreement, dated as of March&#160;30, 2009,
    between PSQ and the Company (the &#147;Purchase
    Agreement&#148;), providing for, among other things, the
    issuance and sale by the Company and purchase by PSQ of
    7,700,000 newly-issued shares of Common Stock (the &#147;Share
    Purchase&#148;) in a private placement transaction exempt from
    registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
    the offer by PSQ to acquire up to 2,500,000&#160;shares of
    Common Stock from the Company&#146;s shareholders pursuant to a
    cash tender offer upon the terms and conditions set forth in the
    Purchase Agreement (collectively, the &#147;Share Purchase and
    Tender Offer&#148;). The Share Purchase is subject to the
    approval of the Company&#146;s shareholders at a special meeting
    of the shareholders that will be called for that purpose. If the
    Share Purchase and Tender Offer are consummated, PSQ will own a
    majority stake in General Employment consisting of between

    In December 2007, the Company received an unsolicited call from
    Company No.&#160;1 requesting a meeting to discuss possible
    strategic alternatives and synergies between the companies. The
    Company&#146;s senior management met in person with the senior
    management of Company No.&#160;1 in Chicago on December&#160;4,
    2007. One independent member of the Board of Directors and
    senior management of the Company met, in person, with senior
    management of Company No.&#160;1 at Company No.&#160;1&#146;s
    headquarters on January&#160;16, 2008. The full board and senior
    management of the Company met with the senior executives of
    Company No.&#160;1 at the Company&#146;s headquarters on
    February&#160;25, 2008. Several conversations and another
    in-person visit with senior management of the companies took
    place during calendar year 2008. The Company&#146;s Board of
    Directors had concerns regarding the high debt levels of Company
    No.&#160;1, and the parties also were unable to reach agreement
    on price. Negotiations between the parties ended in early March,
    2008.

    As part of its ongoing discussions and market-check activities,
    the Company formally engaged Thersea A. Matacia, Strategy and
    Corporate Development Executive (&#147;TAM&#148;) in May 2008 to
    identify a list of staffing companies that could potentially be
    appropriate merger partners or acquisition candidates based on
    stated criteria. Commencing in early June 2008, representatives
    of TAM contacted approximately 50 potential parties. The Company
    received from TAM a list of 22 candidates on August&#160;15,
    2008, a list of 24 more candidates on August&#160;29, 2008, and
    a final list of an additional 24 candidates (not including PSQ)
    on September&#160;2, 2008. Representatives of TAM arranged nine
    telephone meetings and three in-person meetings between the
    Company&#146;s Board of Directors, senior management and the
    possible candidates. None of the contacted parties conducted
    detailed due diligence; none submitted a term sheet or a letter
    of intent. Since no buyer or merger partner emerged from this
    phase of the Company&#146;s market-check process, the process
    ended in late October 2008 and TAM&#146;s initial engagement was
    terminated by the Company shortly thereafter.

    TAM referred Company No.&#160;2 to the Company in May 2008, and
    several telephone calls took place in May and June 2008 between

    Company&#146;s Board of Directors asked Company No.&#160;10 to
    put the specific terms of its transaction proposals in writing.
    The Company received a letter dated June&#160;23, 2008 whereby
    Company No.&#160;2 outlined some of its proposals. Additional
    telephone calls ensued over the next several weeks. The Company
    received a letter from Company No.&#160;2 on August&#160;18,
    2008, indicating that Company No.&#160;2 did not wish to pursue

    which shareholders would receive for their shares of common

    subject to various conditions and uncertainties, including the
    satisfactory completion of a due diligence review of the
    Company, as well as the negotiation of mutually satisfactory

    On March&#160;27, 2009, the Board of Directors determined to
    exclude from the trigger events defined in the Rights Agreement
    the Share Purchase and Tender Offer with respect to the
    contemplated transactions with PSQ, and on March&#160;30, 2009,
    the Company entered into an amendment (the &#147;Rights
    Agreement Amendment&#148;) of the Rights Agreement with
    Continental Stock Transfer&#160;&#038; Trust&#160;Company. The
    Rights Agreement Amendment, among other things, generally
    provides that neither PSQ nor its affiliates or associates will
    be deemed to be an &#147;Acquiring Person&#148; (as such term is
    defined in the Rights Agreement) if the Share Purchase and
    Tender Offer are consummated, and a &#147;Distribution
    Date&#148; (as such term is defined in the Rights Agreement)
    will not be deemed to have occurred, solely as a result of
    (a)&#160;the announcement of the Share Purchase and Tender
    Offer, (b)&#160;the execution of the Purchase Agreement, or
    (c)&#160;the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
    the Purchase Agreement, including the Share Purchase and Tender
    Offer. In addition, the previous exception to the definition of
    Acquiring Person for Herbert F. Imhoff,&#160;Sr., and his family
    members and related trusts, which allowed such persons and
    trusts to own up to 38% of the outstanding shares of Common
    Stock of the Company without being treated as an &#147;Acquiring
    Person&#148; under the Rights Agreement, was eliminated by the

    (the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">&#147;Schedule&#160;14D-9&#148;)</FONT>

    Kentucky limited liability company (&#147;PSQ&#148;), for up to
    2,500,000 outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
    Shareholders of the Company are receiving this Information
    Statement in connection with the agreement by the Board of
    Directors of the Company (the &#147;Board of Directors&#148;) to
    appoint to the Board of Directors three members designated by
    PSQ if the tender offer is consummated. Upon the closing of the
    tender offer, four current members of the six-person Board of
    Directors will resign from the Board of Directors, and their
    vacancies will be filled by the appointment of the three members
    designated by PSQ to serve on the Board of Directors. After
    those resignations and appointments are effected, the size of
    the Board of Directors will be reduced to five members, and will
    consist of two current members of the Board of Directors and the
    three directors appointed at the request of PSQ. The Company
    agreed to effect the appointment of PSQ&#146;s designees to the
    Board of Directors pursuant to the Securities Purchase and
    Tender Offer Agreement, dated as of March&#160;30, 2009 (as such
    agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the
    &#147;Purchase Agreement&#148;), entered into between PSQ and
    the Company.

    Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, PSQ commenced a cash tender
    offer on April&#160;13, 2009 to purchase up to
    2,500,000&#160;shares of Common Stock from the Company&#146;s
    shareholders at a price of $0.60 per share, net to the seller in
    cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and conditions
    set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated April&#160;13, 2009 and
    the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any
    amendments or supplements thereto, collectively, constitute the
    &#147;Tender Offer&#148;). The initial expiration date of the
    Tender Offer is 12:00 midnight, Chicago time, on June&#160;30,
    2009 (which is the minute following 11:59&#160;p.m., Chicago
    time, on such date), subject to extension in certain
    circumstances as required or permitted by the Purchase Agreement
    and applicable law. At that time, if all the conditions to the
    Tender Offer have been satisfied or waived, PSQ will purchase up
    to 2,500,000&#160;shares of Common Stock validly tendered
    pursuant to the Tender Offer and not properly withdrawn. If more
    than 2,500,000&#160;shares of Common Stock are tendered in the
    Tender Offer, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased
    from each tendering shareholder will be cut back proportionately
    to an amount equal to the product of the shares tendered by each
    such tendering shareholder and the percentage amount equal to
    the quotient of 2,500,000 over the number of shares of Common
    Stock validly tendered in the Tender Offer. Copies of the Offer
    to Purchase and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal have been
    mailed with the

    The Audit Committee&#146;s policy is to pre-approve all audit
    and non-audit services provided by the independent registered
    public accounting firm, and to not engage them to perform the
    specific non-audit services proscribed by law or regulation. At
    the beginning of each fiscal year, the Audit Committee meets
    with the independent registered public accounting firm and
    approves the fees and services to be performed for the ensuing
    year. On a quarterly basis, the Audit Committee reviews the fees
    billed for all services provided for the year to date, and it
    pre-approves additional services if necessary. The
    committee&#146;s pre-approval policies allow management to
    engage the independent registered public accounting firm for
    consultations on tax or accounting matters up to an aggregate of
    $10,000 annually. All fees listed in the table above were
    approved in accordance with the Audit Committee&#146;s policies.

that the Receiving Party shall cause each such Representative to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement to the same extent as if they were parties hereto and the Receiving Party shall be
legally responsible for any violation of the terms of this Agreement by any of its Representatives.

Evaluation Material, the Receiving Party will give the Disclosing Party prompt written notice of
such request or requirement so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order

Party will cooperate with the Disclosing Party to obtain such protective order. In the event that
such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Disclosing Party waives compliance
with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party (or such other persons to whom
such request is directed) will furnish only that portion of the Evaluation Material which, in the
opinion of the Receiving Party&#146;s counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and, upon the
Disclosing Party&#146;s request, use the Receiving Party&#146;s best efforts to obtain assurances that

Representatives will not, as a result of knowledge or information obtained from the Evaluation
Material or otherwise, (i)&nbsp;interfere with or attempt to interfere with any business of the

the other Parties&#146; Evaluation Material, destroy all Notes and deliver to the other Parties a duly

relief as a remedy for any such breach, and each Party further agrees to waive, and to cause its

therefrom.

placing of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim
that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding
