It's actually higher than that. Those numbers are after the inflated pay of the higher ups. One company makes almost exactly that margin. The CEO makes over ten million a year. The board is doing good. The shareholders are doing great. They have perks like luxury jets, wine-and-dines, etc. All this while other people run it for them.

Gotta factor these things in to claims by companies talking razor-thin margins. There's more money to be made than they'd make you think. Although, it's still work to get there as you said.
