As @PeterClemmensen has said, what have you tried?  Post test data in the form of a datastep in the post using a code window - its the {i}.  Post what the output should look like.  Supply any code you have tried, or logic you may want included.

data g1;
set "/folders/myshortcuts/myfolder/Imarticus/prg2/growth.sas7bdat";
year = 0;
do while (year < = 10);
 if _N_ = 1 then 
  Total_employees + (total_employees * 0.25);
 else if _N_ = 2 then
  Total_employees + (total_employees * 0.3);
  else if _N_ = 3 then
  Total_employees + (total_employees * 0.1);
  else if _N_ = 4 then
  Total_employees + (total_employees * 0.2);
  else if _N_ = 5 then
  Total_employees + (total_employees * 0.3);
  else if _N_ = 6 then
  Total_employees + (total_employees * 0.1);
end;
run;
