Bill Counts continue to decline

I'm really curious about this ratio. What fraction of the population does it take to adequately service the needs of the whole population? Or put a different way, one american citizen can keep how many other citizens fed, housed, and safe?

Actually. I'd love to see how many jobs are required to fill each of the the levels on Maslow's Pyramid. The unemployment probably came from somewhere near the top of the pyramid.



I attribute the bottom rung to healthcare industry, food industry, and real estate. The second rung to fire, police, military. The third rung to government, local and federal, and probably communication services.
