No it isn't but 1/13th of anything is still 7.7% of something.
One divided by thirteen aka 1/13=.076923; then .076923*100=7.6923
Rounded off=7.7 or 7.7% There is no way you get 14% out of 1/13
If you talking about 100 people then 7.7% of that is 7.7 people (of
course you round up to 8 people). If you are talking about 1000 people
then that is 77 people.
If you are counting every man woman and child in the US of any age
including say 1 minute olds and the elderly who will die one minute
from now-all the American People-then 1/13th of 350 million is
26,923,050.
Of course the size of the workforce isn't all of the people. I think
you misunderstood something along the way. You will have to give me a
number of what you mean. How did you get 14%?
