In my continuing quest to learn the answer, to the question how can I further assist my clients better, I stumbled over these statistics.
They seem odd to me. Seemingly 22.7% of the profits realized in the US come from the financial services industry, I am including the Federal Reserve Banks in this number.
The services sector is a close second with profits of 20.4%, based on the categories this includes restaurants, CPA’s and attorneys.
Remember this is profits not gross income. I have to admit I was surprised by these results.
