To find the number of employees in 11 years, we need to multiply the current number of employees (530) by the rate of decrease (0.95) for each year:

Number of employees in 11 years = 530 * (0.95)^11

Using a calculator, we find that the number of employees in 11 years will be approximately 359.18 (rounded to the nearest whole number), or 359 employees.
