The Basic (aka, is Eric Chavez in the 1%?)

How many people is 1% of the country, and how much does the top 1% make?

As of today, there are 312,592,330 in the US. One percent of that is 3,125,923. These 3 million or so folks are who we're are talking about when we say "The 1%".

The average yearly income per family of the top 1% is $1,137,684.

The average yearly income per family of the top 10% is $164,647.
The average yearly income per family of the bottom 90% is $31,244.

So generally speaking, anyone who pulls in 7 figures a year is in the 1%, and there are about 3 million of these folks.

What do these people do?

31.6% of the top 1% are executives, managers and supervisors in non-finance fields
15.7% are in the medical profession
13.9% are in finance
8.4% are lawyers

etc etc etc on down the line, until we get to:

1.6% of the top 1% are in "Arts, media, sports." This is 50,015 people. That's kind of crazy. You put together all the movie stars, celebrities, athletes, famous TV producers, etc, who make more than a million dollars a year, and it is only 50,000 people.

Conclusion:
Yes, by all means, Eric Chavez is in the 1%. And so is Norv Turner, and Rex Grossman. And they are all horrible at their jobs.
