Blogging Census 2009: There Are More Bloggers Than Bartenders

How many people make a living off blogging? Turns out, there are just about as many bloggers as lawyers, and almost twice as many bloggers as firefighters. (Though we bet the lawyers are paid better.)
Mark Penn at the Wall Street Journal ran some numbers today and found that while 452,000 Americans claim blogging as their primary source of income, median pay is somewhere between $19,000 and $90,000. Not a very helpful range.

That’s all well and good—I certainly didn’t know that there were so many of my fellow scribes tapping away on the intertubes for money.
