% of management -vs- employees in your company?

[Cordon - 2007]

Hello all,

Just wondering what the % is in your place of employment? I was thinking ours is rather high but didn't have anything to compare to so I thought I would ask.

Office = 30% of all employees
All management = around 35% of all employees

The percentage is usually about 10% lower, we have a few layed off right now.

This would vary with the type of industry and the nature of operations. With the wide variety of Covers representation, I do not think this data would show any Comparable spread

What do you consider to be "management"?

Supervisors?
Salaried personnel (as opposed to hourly)?
Administrative positions?
Department managers only?
Superintendents?
Facilitators?

I am just going by what my company considers management for the %, it's very well defined. All office personnel are management down to department leaders.

Our ratio is 11%. Supervisors, managers, and licensed professional/technical staff make the "management" team according to our definitions.
