What are the Odds?

Trivia time! Here are some odds (as an American):

You are a butcher: 1,045 to 1: Source: WolframAlpha
You are a baker: 949 to 1: Source: WolframAlpha
You are a candlestick maker: 5,600 to 1.

This last one takes a little explaining, since finding even a ballpark number of people who put down “candlestick maker” as an occupation on official forms was not possible. What is out there, though, is a neat little estimation of job openings in 2008 for people who work in the candle making industry as molders or painters or what have you in the state of New Hampshire. Assuming candlestick makers are uniformly distributed by population per state, this seems to give somewhere around 56,000 people that do this for a living in the USA.

That seems really high to me, so if anyone has a better estimation, post a comment...
