Why Your Pointy Haired Boss Is A Mathematical Certainty
“The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) produces some interesting documents about things like the percentage of the population that can work, the percentage of that population that is employed and so on. Well, one document they produce is the Occupational Employment and Wages report. Basically it says how many people have what job and what they get paid. So I gathered the data from this chart and created this graph that shows how many people get paid what. Each dot represents a type of job.”
