Clearly, the percentage increase is maximum in case of Managers.
( Final value - initial value)/ initial value*100
Why are they subtracting the total employees for all the years from the year 1999 and why the employees for 1999 is taken as the base.
(like manager 1252-760÷760).
Can somebody please explain it clearly?
