Except for the fact that it's not.  I looked at the code, and I suspect
you've ended up confusing yourself.

In particular, your typedefs are confusing.  Are you sure you didn't mean
this?  It looks like you did based on the rest of the code.

typedef boost::variant< int, double > parameter_t;
typedef std::vector< parameter_t > employee_t;

In other words, a vector (type `employee_t`) where each element is a
variant of either `int` or `double`.

If that's what you meant to type, then compiling with clang++ -std=c++14
creates an a.out that prints "306000" as expected.

I didn't.  In fact, he answered your question by giving you references to
documentation based on the error message you presented.  Unfortunately I
think that error message was a red herring.

Fortunately, I suspect that the solution really just involves fixing your
types.
