It's roughly the same in the US. The US Department of Agriculture estimates that 10.9% of the population is employed in agriculture, food and related industries. More than half (6.4% of pop.) of those are employed in food service (i.e., waitstaff at restaurants). Only 1.3% of the population are actually employed on farms. https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/ag-and-food-statistics-charting-the-essentials/ag-and-food-sectors-and-the-economy/ https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/ag-and-food-statistic...
