| May 7, 2010 at 14:03 | comment | added | Michael Lugo | The number of people in the age intervals 55-64, 45-54, 35-44, were about 36.1, 43.1, and 43.4 million respectively. (Source: US Census Bureau census.gov/ipc/www/idb/informationGateway.php -- you want "Population Pyramid" data.) Thus the number of employed math/stats PhDs per million people in those age brackets is about 260, 150, and 190. (I won't try to interpret the less-than-34 data because I don't know what age to start counting people at.) | |
