When playing the game, I typically fill up one base with 19 scientists, 19 workers, and 19 medics, but when I build another base, there is no option to hire more, even though I have built entirely new living quarters, hospitals, laboratories, and workshops. This doesn't make sense to me. I should be able to let one lab research something while the other lab researches another, both with a full complement of scientists to speed up the research. Same for workshops and hospitals. There is no real motivation for me to build multiple bases if I can only have 19 of each type, so I am requesting a feature to allow each base to have a separate staff.

You can hire as many employees as available. That is, if there is 20 workers available "on the market", you can only hire 20 of them.
The amounts of employees raise at the end of the month, because all types of employees are provided by nations. If the nation accepts your actions, their happiness will raise and they will provide you funds and employees. If they are not, no more employees and funds.

So it is already the case that I will be able to hire more than 19 people at some point? 19 seems to be the max on the list, unless at the time that more become available, the list becomes scrollable?

The list is already scrollable from the beginning of the campaign - mouse wheel. If mouse wheel is not enough, fill new feature request about additional scrolling possiblities in Hire menu.
