HMM. DOWN 5292 FROM 1985 .. I WAS WORKING BEFORE THAT AND STILL AM !!! .. I DO NOT THINK COMPUTER ENHANCEMENTS HAVE MADE UP FOR THE SHORT FALL IN ACTUVE EMPLOYEES . SPEAKING AS A MENTOR NEW HIRES DO NOT STICK AROUND. WE IMPART OUR KNOWLEDGE AND THEY LEAVE 8-12 MONTHS. WORK TIME WASTED !! WEB BASED PROGRAMS HAVE MADE T16 / SSI MORE COMPLICATED.
10,000 more employees, to bring us to 2010 levels would likely increase overall service.
