I made a mistake in this sentence,

"According to this source, 41% of the US workforce worked in agriculture. Today, it's less than 2%."

I should have typed (change in bold):

"According to this source, in 1900 41% of the US workforce worked in agriculture. Today, it's less than 2%."

Damned fingers.
