Real World experience

An interesting chart showing the percent of the cabinet with Private Sector Experience before appointment. From The Enterprise Blog:

Help Wanted, No Private Sector Experience Required
A friend sends along the following chart from a J.P. Morgan research report. It examines the prior private sector experience of the cabinet officials since 1900 that one might expect a president to turn to in seeking advice about helping the economy. It includes secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy, and Housing & Urban Development, and excludes Postmaster General, Navy, War, Health, Education & Welfare, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security�432 cabinet members in all.
