Wait. There were 10000 elevator attendants in the USA in 1990?

Supposedly, in 1990, there was somewhere between 132,000 and 270,000 travel agents. Consider that.

That’s far more believable than 10,000 elevator attendants. I was an adult in 1990 and used travel agents. But I can’t remember ever encountering an elevator attendant.
