It's also worth noting that there is also an increased amount of job-sharing going on now, with people being paid pro-rata. Due to other commitments such as children, being a carer or just taking on less hours for health reasons or winding down as people prepare for retirement. Many roles are also PT.
So while you might see an increase in the numbers of people, in terms of salary it's not much different. There are of course other costs etc. involved with having more workers but it doesn't necessarily equate to FT employees.
