In what kind of business?

mdh76-ga,

About one in ten employees in the US -- 10.5% to be precise -- are
considered managers.


The figures can be found in the Statistical Abstracts of the United States:

Statistical Abstract of the United States
2004-2005



In particular, at this link:


http://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/04statab/labor.pdf


you find the labor statistics:


Section 12
Labor Force, Employment, and Earnings



and in Table No. 597:
Employed Civilians by Occupation, Sex, Race, and Hispanic Origin: 2003


you can see the following:


Total number of employees in the United States:  137,736,000

Total number of Management occupations in the US: 14,468,000



FYI, the largest categories of managers were CEO's (1,617,000) and
Financial managers (1,041,000).



I trust this information fully answers your question.

But please don't rate this answer until you have everything you need.
