And now that I've looked, here are the numbers over the last year
3/12 - 323
4/12 - 310
5/12 - 318
6/12 - 312
7/12 - 293 (4/8/3/3 duh)
8/12 - 287
9/12 - 279
10/12 - 244
11/12 - 234
12/12 - 231
1/13 - 232
2/12 - 218
3/12 - 208
So that's a roughly 33% decrease. Or a 1% increase in total staffing as of the 3/13 category list.
Sorry dude. 244 is mid 200s. In fact we've only been in the low 200s since this month.
80's ability for data interpretation and recollection is nearly always wrong. There are usually bits of truth in there leading to an invalid conclusion.
