What the Top 1% of Earners Majored In

A post on the NYT Economix blog by Robert Gebeloff and Shaila Dewan describes data from the 2010 American Community Survey in terms of what fraction people with various college majors end up in the "one percent."

In case you are wondering, 2.5% of people with sociology degrees are in the one percent and they make up about 1.3% of the one percent. About 3.3% of anthropologists and archaeologists are in the one percent and they make up about 0.4% (there are fewer of the latter overall -- the ratio of soc to anthro/archaeo in the ACS data is about 4:1).
