You assume wrong. In the UK, about 0.3-0.5% of people work in marketing or advertising, and that's one of the most extremely financialised service economies in the whole world. No way is the number anywhere near even that high in countries where people actually work for a living.

Thanks for the correction. Slightly overestimated ๐Ÿ˜

Yeah, I mean it's still an insanely high amount IMO, you're not wrong in the sense that it's "way too many people"
