Yes, but that was already clear from the word profit. I assumed you didn't know what profit was precisely.

Maybe I'm mistaken. What's your point? That there are more people benefitting from the oil industry? If so, that probably means the richest 1% are taking more than the bottom 75% (of those that benefit in any way). Yet, we all suffer the consequences of the pollution.

Just that the graph is leaving out salaried workers, whom I would classify as major beneficiaries of the oil industry, however that may or may not affect the statistics or any drawn conclusions.
