This report means absolutley nothing. They took 2, count them 1, 2, years of data from the US Census data. Some people do not report their income or occupation on their Census report so they would not be counted. Plus they based a lot of this on the earnings and unemployment rate. Guess what our occupation has been one of the hardest hit due to the housing market crunch.
As the old saying goes you can make numbers say anything you want.
