A little steeped in stereotypes and I would be surprised if the numbers are right in regards to breaking the economy into rough 3rds - SMEs make up a large part of the economy - and when I say SMEs - I mean pretty small companies.

Marries reasonably well with some of my observations and complaints I hear from mates who are Japanese salarymen.
