There is no data attached but the question can be answered without it. The analyst's  conclusion that they should hire more people to drive higher sales is not justified because the area of the bookstore is small and is constant. It is not practical to hire more people and let them all work in that little space.  Another alternative maybe is to advertise their books online to attract more customers.
