Fund manager says $50k worker costs a company a total of $90k.

Company share of SS & Medicare, about 7.5% - $3,750
Health plan - $12,000
2 weeks paid vacation - $2000
Retirement plan matching - $5000
Unemployment insurance - $1000 (depending on state)

That makes a total of $73,750.

Am I missing something, other than optional things like life insurance, bonuses, overtime, company picnic?

Remember back in the day when we had an intelligent, honest, competent, skillful and dignified President? Those were the days.

Too bad the republicans colluded with their intimate russian buddies to PISS all over that sort of thing, and to make sure America was saddled with a lying, cheating, bullying republican casino sharpie sporting Five Fat Draft-Dodging fudgies in his silk designer underwear.
