About 7,300 reporters and editors are among the 1 percent

The New York Times
According to a Times graphic in Sunday’s newspaper, 7,282 reporters and editors are in the rarefied circle of the 1 percent. (The interactive version doesn’t appear to include this category.) To be included in the graphic, at least 2 percent of people with that job have to live in households with incomes of $380,000. That means that at least 2 percent of all reporters and editors live in households with that income. It’s possible that some of those 7,300 reporters and editors simply married well. Not fortunate enough to live in a household with a $380,000 annual income?
