Gen Z is actually taking sick days, unlike their older coworkers. It’s redefining the workplace (fortune.com)

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?

Edit: I suppose it could also indicate that the under 36 demographic could have had a significant growth in proportion.

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 fuck's sake. We spent 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

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.
