We are "restructuring" away from food corps. We've closed one corp recently and are going to close others as new operations arrive.
HTeng at 11,000 and rising by nearly 3,000 a month. HTsen at over 3,000 and rising by nearly 1,000 a month. Our education system is fairly decent and priorities have just been increased. We also might do another population transfer, and as I've stated we are closing state corps to free up workers.
I recognize that we only have about 15% of HTsen and HTeng for something like an FMU, but we can produce them very quickly and beyond closing corps we will also cut back hiring until the shortage is met. We've done it a few times already. Seems to work.
