Primes

• Constraint Release
  • In organizations, lifting a hiring or expense freeze releases the hiring the freeze had suppressed — though the one measured case runs to the prior baseline rather than past it: after the June 1977 U.S. federal hiring freeze was lifted, hiring rose fast enough that by November permanent full-time employment stood only 2,965 positions below where it had been when the freeze began.
