"I once worked for a company that has two non-profit competitors. It drove our mngmt crazy because these non-profits could underbid us and still pay the same or better salaries to their employees. "

If gross margins exceed expenses, then a firm would not be non profit. One way to bring up expenses is to increase payroll through either more head count or more pay per capita. The becomes a "nasty" game in areas like the medical profession.
