David,

There's another complication to these figures. Here's an example. If I have a job doing 'x' and they raise my title and my pay but I keep doing 'x' and take on no new responsibilities, it doesn't count as an increase in employment costs. I have a new title so supposedly I have moved up the ladder and that accounts for the higher salary. But a new title combined with a "standard" increase in pay and no new responsibilities is a common form of reward at large corporations. Some people respond to titles even though they are only getting a cost of living increase for doing the same job.
