BTW KKC, the number of records is not the same as the number of hires, as there can be MANY workers on one application. Additionally, you need to look not only at how many were hired in 2002, but you need to look at how many are working here period. That is where you'll begin to see the scope of the problem..

You are correct. Some of these are multiple hires. That brings the grand total to almost 90 people in the Houston area this year. Big whoop.
