33% * %42 = ~14%. And while the number is debatable, depending on how we define "significant", only a portion of that 14% has significant wealth invested in the stock market.

I agree with the previous poster. The vast majority of Americans (including employed Americans) aren't invested in the stock market in any meaningful way.
