They have raised the chances of folks with advanced degress getting hired by a paltry 16%, or 5000 in number to be exact. Is this a significant difference?

  The regulatory bang-for-buck is pretty high, though -- no complex rule-making, no significant change in procedure, just a 16% bump for practically nothing.

    I see, but can't they do that anytime they want? I mean, they can do it by 50% even if they so wish, why aim for 16%?

      They're not aiming for 16%. They're not changing any of the numbers involved, they're just changing the order of two dice rolls. It's a creative little rejig they probably hadn't thought to do before (or perhaps previous administrations hadn't wanted to do it before.)

        Now the clouds are parting. Thanks for your explaination :)
