That's all smoke & mirrors & accountant's trickery.
If you get the number of Holdens built per year & divide that number by the TOTAL wages, you would get a shock.
If you follow their logic & just work the number of hours a factory worker actually 'touched' a car that figure is much lower.
The problem with their calculations is that the security guards at the front gate, the forklift drivers & the guys working in the canteen still count in production costs, even though they don't actually 'build' the car.
I do agree however that Govt. oncosts are a big problem also. I've had my own business for 40+ years & I know this only too well.
