(In this list, I have ranked 818 US occupations according to average annual pre-tax salary, provided by BLS http://www.bls.gov/oes/2007/may/oes_nat.htm#(4) . The other number tells you how many workers there actually are in that occupation. For a few occupations, such as dancers and sporters, there is no data, because they don't work the whole year round. We don't have this kind of data freely available in Europe, because Eurostat does not serve the ordinary taxpayers who fund their activities, just the wealthy bourgeois analysts who cream off rich helpings of tax money with nonsense stories about "labour market flexibility" and suchlike - JB).
