    Sick leave in the U.S. increased 55% in 2023 compared to 2019, according to new data from human resources platform Dayforce, which collected data from more than 1,500 of its clients. … employees younger than 36 are leading the charge, with a 29% leap in the amount of sick leave they took from 2024 compared to 2019.

    How does the group leading the charge have a smaller increase than the increase of the aggregate? Was there a decline between ‘23 to ‘24? Am I misinterpreting?

      I feel like you’ve just given me a stats homework assignment.

      I assume though that it has to do something with different population sizes and proportions. Or just poorly worded.

      Reading this full article, omg lay off the random survey stats. Whoever wrote this probably confused themselves. Also it should be noted 29-36 year olds are still Millennials for fucks sake. We spend our entire youths getting shat on by rags like Fortune, but I guess they’re ready to suck Gen Z’s dick now that their business model has been completely broken
