Could it be because 2/3rds of their employees work in the retail channel?

I feel like that pool of low-skilled employees would only water down the "profit-per-employee" metric.

Hiring someone in sales helps you earn money, but I doubt a single cheerful apple-store worker brings in $500k in merchandise sales for that store.
