The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is — real-life business, not a government job.  A Nod To Woodsterman for letting me plagiarise his site.

Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt……………….. 38%

Taft………………………….. 40%

Wilson ……………………… 52%

Harding…………………….. 49%

Coolidge…………………… 48%

Hoover……………………… 42%

F. Roosevelt………………. 50%

Truman…………………….. 50%

Eisenhower……………….. 57%

Kennedy…………………… 30%

Johnson…………………… 47%

Nixon……………………….. 53%

Ford………………………… 42%

Carter………………………. 32%

Reagan…………………….. 56%

GH Bush…………………… 51%

Clinton …………………….. 39%

GW Bush………………….. 55%

Obama………………………. 8%

This helps explain the incompetence of this administration:only 8% of them have ever worked in private business! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has never really had one?  And when it’s the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest
advisers?  They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as “community organizers.”
