Clearly, the percentage increase is maximum in case of Managers.
Rephrase the original question. It's a run on sentence.
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?
( Final value - initial value)/ initial value*100
