I’m not entirely antagonistic to the concept of surplus labor as I would have been in the 80s.  But at the end of this great little list of data bits taken from an Ad Age report on search marketing, we find this:

"Google hired 5,000 people in 2006, doubling their workforce, and on average Google generates $950,000 in revenue for each employee it has."

Between the Google millionaires, the Google old timers moving to hot young startups and the above bit of data, new hires at Google are probably starting to feel a little sick.

But at least they’re working!
