That's because the war opened up a ton of new jobs for people to make the weapons and such, which meant less unemployment and more working people.Stuff like that isn't relevant to mercenaries, they only care for the money going directly to them for fighting. While the government's wealth is internally dependent on their citizens and how well off and employed they are.
