Music.

The figure seems to be a breakdown of their music income. Surely musicians 
have other sources of income. Non-musician music related jobs. Non-music 
related jobs. Income from investments. Teaching non-music subjects (assuming 
the teaching in the figure is teachin music, not clear.)

I hang out with a band that I figure makes the majority of their income from 
non-music related day jobs and / or businesses and a small percentage from 
their music earning efforts. How many other musicians are there in a similar 
boat? Did this study even try to study them?

all the best,
