The Corpse on the Gurney

[California Tanker]

A large number of Guard jobs are held open without hiring a replacement, the workload is simply redistributed to others. This is what's happening in my case when I vanish later this year. Guardsmen who are self-employed do not generally hire replacement staff. I think the number of temporarily hired workers to fill in the remaining gaps would be small enough that it won't be a major factor in the unemployment lines.
