The Top 1 Percent: What Jobs Do They Have?
- hkmurakami 10y agoI would love to see this for the 0.1% and the 0.01%, which should exclude a large swath of the highly compensated professional knowledge worker class (doctors, lawyers, engineers) who may be nominally high earners but are an order of magnitude short of influencing the direction of government through their earning power.
- cheez 10y agoDoctors and lawyers as a class influence government just fine. If you think there are individual people impacting a dysfunctional government, I suspect you'd be surprised.
- lloyd-christmas 10y agoDoctors don't have much meaningful impact on health care policy, given their interests are typically competing with both big pharma and insurers.
