<description><![CDATA[At the SDSU student recreation center (76,000 sq. ft. center that serves the SDSU community), our ratio of full-time and part-time staffing (payroll & benefits) costs to revenue is 46%. We are, of course, a not-for-profit recreation and fitness center that runs on near zero subsidy from state tax resources or student subsidy. Therefore, our revenue must cover 99% of our expenses.<br><br><div class='signature'>ERIC HUTH, RECREATION DIRECTOR<br>ASSOCIATED STUDENTS/SAN DIEGO STATE UNIV., CA.</div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What is the percentage of the amount spent on labor of the total amount of revenue your facility brings in in a year? <br>Or does anyone know of a guideline for this? <br>I'm especially interested to hear from people at health and wellness centers and non-profits.<br><br><div class='signature'>William Pave, Swimming coach<br>Hiawasee Fitness & Wellness Center (non-profit), NC</div>]]></description>
