Muck Rack’s Gregory Galant begins his latest CNN piece on the state of the PR world with a few unsettling facts:

- Advertising professionals make up to 75% more than their PR counterparts
- MBA courses in public relations are far rarer than courses in advertising
- When it comes to pop culture figures, advertising has Don Draper while PR has…Samantha on Sex and the City.
