People have wondered years what Santa does and how he does it free. Researchers have now come with an answer these age-old questions. The insurance company insure.com has calculated a hypothetical figure $139,924 for Santa's efforts this year. This is a 1.5 per cent increase last year, which is in keeping with austerity measures suffered by most people around the world. The figure is roughly twice the amount that caregivers the USA would receive. Researchers insure.com created a list of the various jobs Santa performs the year to create a job description. They then estimated the total time spent each task to get the final figure for Santa's annual salary.

The researchers discovered that Santa is indeed a multi-skilled worker, who pretty much has to be a jack all trades. Among his skills are reindeer handling, gift wrapping, chimney expert and map reader. The vast majority his salary, however, comes managing his toy factory. It is estimated the bearded one spends 2,912 hours a year organizing his elves and making sure toys the world's children are the right quality. He gets the standard $40.09 an hour this. His highest hourly rate is the ten hours he spends being a sleigh pilot and delivering presents. Comparisons were made airline pilots and researchers reckoned a sleigh pilot would earn $62.31 an hour.
