It really reminds me of a power law distribution : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

Some are very well paid/employable/competent, but the vast majority are not. Many people think the job search should be like a normal/Gaussian distribution, most people rambling about the mean. But it's not that for the searcher nor the employer; the employees you want are to be paid on a power law, and the jobs you want are as a common as a power law.

Curiously, this works for populations of cities, star luminosity, start-up success, and many other things.
