I suspect there weren't that many FT employees of the WMF in 2008, if any? If I remember, WMF started that year based in Florida and moved sometime during the year. Could be that employee expenses were housed in Bomis or ledgered as something other than a labor expense.

I find it hard to believe that the WMF's average cost per employee has increased from $28,796 in 2008 to $149,155 in 2019. That does not seem credible to me. The figure is remarkably low in 2008 and remarkably high in 2019. Perhaps there is something else happening in the data?
