Having done the wage calculations for paying this Friday I entertained myself in a small way by plotting the nett wage bills for this year on a chart and then fitting a curve. While the wages definitely do not keep up with inflation the result was nevertheless illuminating. Unfortunately I cannot find out how to display it here but maybe you can envisage this; January it was $881,000, June $13,100,000 and this month it is $504 million. Equation of the curve; y = 294816e to power 0.602x. The fit was 0.9883. Truly exponential!
