There are some numbers you are missing here.
How many people making 41 an hour and how many people making 15 mil?
Also, how many retired people and how much are they costing?
Also, is that an average 41 an hour? If so, how many are making 20 and how many are making 60?
What is the average wage of the guy with the push broom vs the guy installing the engines?

What is the average break down of managers to employees?
How many teers of managment do they have?
How much does the union reps make per hour?
