Julie Won

And so far, what has been the result for construction contracts covered by PLEs?

Douglas Harry

So based on the data we have now, let me see if I can get the specifics.

Douglas Harry

the goals to date.

Douglas Harry

Well, so I do have the, I was able to get to your earlier question, the percentage of hours.

Douglas Harry

So right now, 23.75% of all the hours have been performed by community hires.

Douglas Harry

That's based on the available data that we have now.

Douglas Harry

We're continuing to collect more data about these contracts as these contracts progress and as we get more contracts registered.

Douglas Harry

I can see if we have that broken down by PLA and non-PLA contracts.

Douglas Harry

I'm not sure, but generally across all of the construction contracts, it's about 23.75% of hours worked have been performed by community hires.
