Companies knew the mandated return to the office would cause some attrition, however, they were not prepared for the serious problems that would present. (www.entrepreneur.com)

And almost a third (29%) of companies enforcing office returns are struggling with recruitment. Imagine that — nearly half!

29% is almost a third, which is nearly half, which if we round up from there is 100%!

Don't disagree with the article's sentiment, this statement was just absurd to me lol. 29% is definitely not "nearly half"

The "nearly half" remark is referring to the previous sentence regarding 42% attrition. The paragraph could have been structured better, and I wouldn't say "nearly half" until the 46% mark or so, but it isn't as bad as "29% == half".
