 The Question:
Can you tell me how many people are employed in the following
occupations in the U.S.: doctor, lawyer, educator, technical/engineer,
managerial/professional, sales?
The Answer:
Our table of Median Weekly
Earnings of Selected Occupations includes the number of
workers in several of those categories. As of 2005, there were 562,000
physicians and surgeons, 598,000 lawyers, and 3,756,000 teachers
(including preschool through secondary school) employed in the
U.S.
Your other categories are extremely broad, too much so for a
definite answer. You may wish to check out the figures on the Bureau of Labor
Statistics site. In particular, we recommend looking through
the Occupational Outlook
Handbook, which contains information and statistics about jobs
of all sorts.
