Maybe profit per employee would be a better measure? I've worked at 
places with net income per employee varying from -£66k to +£47k (figures 
taken from the reuters financials page for each company). IME those 
figures very much correlate to how easy it was to get money to do stuff 
and the overall "culture" within the company regarding money, which 
isn't surprising.
