Steve Mathis Typical trend in most cities. Since I retired in 2015 my former employer has reduced staffing by 10% through attrition with no plans to replaced those of us who retired. Run volume continues to increase with less manpower available to handle the load. Education requirements continue to rise with little time do it all.
