The Daily Stat: Children Inherit Employers from Parents

From HBR's daily stat:

By age 33, about 40% of men have worked at some point for companies that employed their fathers — a proportion that leaps to nearly 70% for the highest-earning dads, according to a study of Canadian data by Miles Corak of the University of Ottawa and Patrizio Piraino of the University of Cape Town. Parents, particularly high earners, can influence sons' or daughters' job choices by offering contacts and knowledge of particular employers, the researchers say.
