Also the salary to expense ratio is kept in check by the Consumer Price Index. Quarterly here.

Salary to expense ratio is subjective here, I fear, further complicated by American unwillingness to give up the personal car for good, efficient mass transit.
"Get a job, any job" sounds good, and in principle, I agree - even ten quid a week is better than no quid a week. However, as said earlier, there is a general unwillingness in a lot of people to do work that is "beneath them" - or a desire by employers to cut costs by hiring illegals; both issues need addressing before we'll get back to a good economy.
Here's a thought experiment: How would your work life be different if your boss thought of your salary as an asset rather than a liability? For instance, instead of going on the ledger as a 25K loss, it goes instead on the plus side as a 25K gain in value to the business?
