You confuse cost with salary.

Someone who makes 35k a year costs much more. Think about office space, training, insurance, payroll costs etc.




35k is the gross which encompasses a big part of that except office space.


No it's not. In France companies pay ~1.5-2x gross salary in total, gross going to the employee ( some of it getting deducted by the state), rest going for health insurance, taxes, etc.


If you check the actual numbers here - https://entreprise.pole-emploi.fr/cout-salarie/ you'll see that for e.g. 30kâ‚Ĵ gross yearly, a company shells out 41k, which is definitely not 1.5-2x total and still very far from the 75k mentioned above
