Percentages may be "de-humanizing" but they are much better for understanding the relevance and severity of layoffs. If your local bakery lets 20 people go it's much more likely to be a sign of significant issues with the business than if Apple lays off twenty people (which wouldn't even be news). In fact, when reading news stories you should _always_ look for the denominator (and be on guard when it isn't provided), lest you be mislead by emotionally framed numbers floating in the void. |
