Dear Cicely LaMothe:

Re:	General Employment Enterprises, Inc.
	Form 10-KSB for fiscal year ended September 30, 2008
	Commission file number 1-05707

This filing on Edgar confirms our letter previously faxed to you on March 3,
2009.

This letter is in response to your comment letter dated February 19, 2009
regarding the above filing.  The information requested by the Commission
about the Company's disclosures, and the Company's responses, are as follows:

Revenue Recognition, page 16
1. Please tell us what consideration you gave to disclosing the amount of the
 provision for estimated losses due to applicants not remaining employed for
 the company's guarantee period for each period covered in your audited
 financial statements.  For any significant variances from period to period,
 please provide a discussion explaining the cause of the changes and whether
 there were any modifications to any of the underlying assumptions in
 determining the reserve.

Company's response:  Consolidated net revenues were presented on the
 Consolidated Statement of Operations.  The Company considered the amount
 of the provision for estimated losses due to applicants not remaining
 employed for the company's guarantee period (the "provision for
 falloffs") to be insignificant for disclosure purposes.  The provision
 for falloffs was $1,116,000 (7.3% of consolidated net revenues) in fiscal
 2008 and $2,031,000 (10.3% of consolidated net revenues) in fiscal 2007.
 The decline in the percentage of net revenues was attributable to
 improved loss experience during fiscal 2008 - that is, fewer falloffs
 occurred.  Management believes that the lower volume of placements during
 fiscal 2008 enabled the Company to be successful in a greater proportion
 of the placements made.  This was accomplished through more careful
 matching of applicants to positions.  More careful screening by employers
 and applicants prior to hiring was also a likely factor contributing to
 the lower falloff percentage.  During the period, there were no changes
 in the Company's method or assumptions in determining the reserve for
 falloffs.

Retirement Plans, page 20
2. With respect to your deferred compensation plan, we note that the
 participants direct the investments of the trust which appears to indicate
 that the plan permits diversification and that the employees have
 diversified the investments.  Please tell us whether any of the plan assets
 are currently invested in the employer stock.  Additionally, confirm that
 your accounting treatment is consistent with the provisions of EITF 97-14.

Company's response:  No plan assets were invested in the employer's stock
 as of the balance sheet date.  Company stock is not offered as an
 investment alternative under the plan.  We confirm to you that the
 Company does account for the plan in accordance with the provisions of
 EITF 97-14.

We acknowledge that the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy
 of the disclosures in the referenced filing.  We understand that staff
 comments or changes to disclosures in response to staff comments do not
 foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing.
 We also understand that the Company may not assert staff comments as a
 defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under
 the federal securities laws of the United States.

I hope that we have answered your questions fully, and that you consider the
 Company's disclosures to be adequate.  If you need any additional
 information, I would be pleased to provide it.  I may be reached by
 telephone at 630-954-0407, by fax at 630-954-0447 or by e-mail at
