to turn it off.
Bechtel provided workers in New Orleans after Katrina. They billed the
government $900 per day per worker and they paid the workers $300 per day.
Is that "efficient?"
That actually sounds about right. You clearly do not run a business and have no idea what the cost of having employees really is.
Of course, I would need to know if these employees who made $300 were also getting benefits. But business has to receive twice as much per hour just to break even, even if they are not providing benefits.
Add in retirement benefits, health benefits and such and the cost goes up. If Bechtal was providing their employees as a service, then the company was only making money on the remainder of the salary per employee. Again, we have to go back to how much margin is good, but Bechtal is publicly traded and they have to show growth and margin.
When you factor everything together, $900 per employee seems like a lot, but in reality it is not that out of reach.
