    By the way... in most businesses I know, the employees pay rates are not the cost of the employees. That guy on $40 an hour, thinks he's highly paid... well the cost to the company is typically 2x to 3x that. Places I used to work, the overhead rate was such that engineering labour was charged at $100/hr for the internal cost accounting system. And that was 10 years ago. So when the employees see the highly paid consultant on $120 / hr, what they forget is that this is the TOTAL cost to the company, and their salary is not. Commented Jul 26, 2011 at 3:10
