Some jobs are cheaper to fill than others, and the cost of staffing them varies depending on the type of job, the position, and whether the position requires multiple employees or only one.
The jobs with the highest cost per employee are those that require at least one person, while the jobs with lowest cost per person are those with fewer than one.
