...also, 215 billion? Is a little bit of money.

pay·roll
Pronunciation: \ˈpā-ˌrōl\
Function: noun
Date: 1740
the sum necessary for distribution to those on a payroll; also : the money to be distributed

That's how it's misleading. That's the only way I've ever heard payroll used. The way it's used there could be better replaced by "employees" or "work force".

The first two sentences I quoted did specifically make it clear by using "employees" and "work force".
