Since 1997 the number has gone from 46,000 to 34,000, but by the same token, the average wage per employee has gone from $54,000 to $73,000, so I think that's a factor that has to be looked at too.
Depuis 1997, l'effectif est passé de 46 000 à 34 000, mais le salaire moyen est passé de 54 000 $ à 73 000 $, c'est un facteur qui mérite d'être examiné.
