Wait, 64 million applicants, not applications? That's like 20% of the US population!

Others have said it's for the global site, but would 64 million really be that off for the US?

I just looked it up 13 of the 40k francises are in the US. Assuming linearity, thats about 21 million US applicants since they started keeping centralized, digital records.

20% of Americans younger than 40 is not a bad guess.

Also is the unit identifier for a human an email? Then one living being might be seen twice or more
