[citation][nom]kensingtron[/nom]What the Mr F! That's $187,500 per person. Also typically 10% of an earning demography will be earning 90% of the money; which equates to $1,662,500 for the top 10%. Wait, it's probably a little less as that only leaves $20,800 each for the remaining 1,800 people.[/citation]
The cost per person is not the amount of money someone is getting paid. Think of all the benefits (especially health insurance), and how quickly they add up. Now consider the cost of actually having facilities for people, and the costs for equipment. Those buildings themselves require insurance, taxes, and maintenance, even if they're owned. If not, the rent is another cost.
The amount of money someone actually gets paid is substantially less than the cost of that employee, especially now.
