From the accounting view of that question: Jobs are expenses and expenses cut into margin, thus decreasing profits.

That's got to be one of the stupidest things I've read here in a while.

By your logic, no company should ever hire anyone.

That’s not my logic, that’s pure accounting 101. Pick up and read an Income Statement or a P&L statement. Salaries are expenses, expenses reduce profits. Businesses only higher the minimum of what they need to get the job done. Umm, it’s called being a good business owner and is part of capitalism.
