Since unfortunately Ross Perot isn't running, please share any interesting charts you can find.
Recent opinion article in the New York Times addresses "the deep inequities preventing most Americans — the factory workers and farmers, entrepreneurs and electricians, teachers, nurses and
small-business owners — from the basic prosperity we call the American dream."
But who are most Americans?

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.

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.

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.

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 :(

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).
