I always saw a lot of irony in the focus on the 1% when the occupy protests were happening because if you asked people to describe the 1% they would almost universally describe traits of the .01%. Private Jets, yachts, super cars, multiple mansions being C suite at a large company that are totally unattainable to the bulk of the 1%.
The bulk of the 1% 10 years ago by number of members was probably mostly made up of doctors and lawyers although the wealth is disporportionately held by the top percentages of that range. Same is true today except add a major component of people in tech.

But the 1% rhetoric never made any sense.
