Wouldn't those stats be heavily influenced by the work description? A police officer would still be a police officer as they advance in the ranks. A plumber would stop being a plumber when they get a new title. Or does the US differ between police and police officer?

I'm not privy to how they calculated the numbers but typically title changes are accounted for.

What kind of career ladder are you imaging for plumbers, here? There aren't that many boilermakers or steamfitters around these days.
