Question:  I need some help here.

What is the average percentage of a museum's budget that goes to
wages/benefits for their employees.

G. Ellis Burcaw states that a "rule-of-thumb in a healthier situation is
that two thirds of the annual operating budget should be devoted to
salaries.  Even 75 per cent may not be excessive under some circumstances."
