If accurate, Alabama paid $100,000. The Nerd was 20 times more efficient. Now that's smart.
Guess that depends on what types of jobs they're going to be. Some techs to run a lab or some senior engineers working on high level thermodynamic issues. I believe the difference in pay scale is considerable. Your numbers assume a salary of $100,000 per job created.
The math works out to the employee needing to earn $1,162,790 to recoup the $50K. [[not counting the reduction in taxes due to applicable deductions)

Also, the Nerd was only twice as efficient. 50k vs 100k.
