Yes, my figures were proportional rather than absolute.
I was mainly responding to:
EA organizations are growing slower or at pace with the overall EA population
This sounds like a proportional claim to me. My take is they’re growing at the same or faster pace as the overall EA population.
It’s true that if they both grow the same proportionally, the absolute number of people not able to get jobs will grow. It’s less obvious to me something is ‘going wrong’ if they both grow at the same rate, though it’s true that the bigger the community, the more important it is to think about culture.

Ah, yeah that wasn’t intended as my meaning. Will edit :)
