Hopefully it goes without saying but the person you're responding to was just giving an example. The contractor vs. permanent employee pay gap absurdity they're highlighting in government contracting is often much more profound than 20%. 100% higher pay for contractors doing the equivalent work in the US isn't uncommon.

Pay yes, but not cost.

[justin66]

That’s just delusional.

Why do you say that? The cost to a company for an employee ranges anywhere from 120% to 200% of the compensation paid to the employee.
