When they compare price per watt for all sources, this cost is based on the cost for production. That production cost includes overhead and operating costs. Those cost include employees.
As a example:
Which is better a price of $0.08/watt with 100,000 employees or $0.08/watt with 1,000 employees?
As for losses for subsidies and grants, energy isn't the only sector that gets those. The government subsidizes oil with tax credits last time I checked.
The government "loses" money by subsidizing and providing grants to many industries. They are only true losses if they don't provide a long term return or benefit to society.
