I'm actually not surprised at all. The more specialized the job, the less people you will find in that industry relative to the general population. Unfortunately, we are not in the 1.8% of top salary earners though :(

So true, my dad could buy our family home in the early 80s on a single simple salary and it's all paid off now...

Rusty!
US population was 200 million in 1970. We are over 330 million now. At the same time, housing is exclusively a private industry product. This industry will do their best not to oversupply (the only way housing cost goes down).

So?
so, look how much of the population is stuck doing mundane shit
One's mundane shit is the other's (American) Dream...
Yeah the dream isn't the job, it's the quality of life afforded by the paycheck that the job provides.
Now, whether or not *that* is good might be an interesting thread. Too bad you didn't make that thread.
quality of life is as much about time as it is about money.
Agree.
Mundane shit? lets see what groundbreaking stuff you are doing in the profession? Oh wait, you are probably a student
I'm actually a dog
farming fishing and forestry is the 0.1% then. Is that your point?
That's probably the part that should scare everyone.
where's rock-star and astronaut?
you called?
You saw my bat-signal? Nice. I was not sure it could reach that far.
was at the bar:
Clearly not an accurate chart. Legal is less than 1% but Architecture is 1.8%. Go look in the phone book for lawyers vs architects.
architects and engineers numbered together
Nope not accurate at all, as an architect I work in all those occupational groups combined, architecture = all, architecture = life
Actually, it lists "Legal" which is far more than just lawyers.
Everything else is "Illegal" ...dealers, growers, cons, etc.
