Perhaps, but the data is merged and too much information is lost.

Did I prick my finger or lose 4 pints of blood! == Less overtime or fired.

I don't think that's a fair comparison, personally. Getting your hours cut is a big deal and might mean you can't pay your bills.

Like I said, I think it's great to split them out if you can, but let's not minimize actual pain people are going to be going through right now. Especially on a site where the average income is so much higher than most.
