Comparisons with Mainland Counties -- Of 21 U. S. counties surveyed (1976) with 2,000 employees or less, 6 were below us in staffing ratios and 14 were above. The arithmetic mean for the counties surveyed is .88 while ours is .67 • staff per hundred employees. Comparisons with Private Enterprise -- ". . . the average company with 1,000 • employees or more, the median personnal budget amounts to $269.00 per employee per year and the personnel staff ratio dips /from 1 to 100/ to 0.7 person to 100 employees." (From BNA, Dec. 8, 1977, No. 1451, Part II) • Our budget of $180.82 compares favorably with the median budget of private enterprise which is $269.00 per employee per year for companies with 1,000 employees or more and $316.00 for companies with less than 1,000 employees. We also 'compare favorably in staffing ratios. In companies with less than 1,000 employees the personnel staffing ratio is 1 to 100, i.e. , one personnel staff member for each 100 employees serviced; whereas we have .67 staff per _100 employees serviced. • Companies with over 1,000 employees have a median personnel staffing ratio of 0.7.person per 100 employees serviced. Since we service about 1,500 employees with 8 permanent full-time employees our ratio is' .53 staff per 100 employees • serviced. If we added the 2 CETA workers our ratio ,of ..66 would still. be under the median of private enterprises 0.7. • If we followed the median of private enterprise we would have approximately 11 full-time employees in our department to service 1,500 employees.
