We have about a 9% vacancy rate.

It's about 1100 people, which, you know, it's higher than I would like it to be, but it is close to half of what it was a year ago.

So we've been really making a lot of progress.
2:31:20
So we're focused on continuing to fill the vacancies that we and continuing to make process improvements.

If there's needs to change going forward, we certainly will, but the fact that we've been made able to virtually eliminate the cache and snap backlogs, I think really does show that we can can manage with our resource.
