The humanities also include law, politics, and economics [1].

What percentage of laywers, politicians, and economists are worth more than STEM graduates?

How much relative power does each sector have?

[1] Technically a social science, certainly not a hardcore STEM subject.

Economics is not in the humanities, political science is not in the humanities, and law is not typically considered in the humanities.

It kinda sounds like you don't know what the humanities are.

Just to be clear, you're both kind of right, but I take objection to your overly aggressive stance on this where you rebut and accuse without providing any sort of evidence.

The humanities, liberal arts, and social sciences are usually lumped together as "not-STEM".
