The "$ wasted per month" metric doesn't make any sense for salaried employees (at which this metric seems targeted). Many salaried positions sport creativity as a bottleneck (I know this is certainly true for myself as a software engineer). That the productivity of employees in these professions cannot be measured in hours is inherently the reason that they are salaried and not hourly.
I strongly suspect that were the working hours of the measured employees were reduced to 35 hours a week that one would not see an equal reduction in productivity.
