A 20% increase is actually a downward trend from their 30% year to year staff growth, according to this quote last month [sfgate.com] by AJ's Glen Sunnergren, senior vice president of Human Resources:

"We are clearly in a hiring mode," said Sunnergren, pointing out that the company has enjoyed a 30 percent year-to-year increase in the size of its staff for several years.

Are they spinning a decrease in hiring?

I think a fact checker to keep all their statements consistent is one of the people they should be looking to hire.
