Astounding - figures on Elvis impersonator trends

http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/publications/Burden/bcd_03.htm

In 2007, there are a reported 85,000 Elvis impersonators and in just three years look at the total this group estimates! It may seem a far off figure but after the huge competitions this year in Memphis and on the BBC, I think it is quite possible that there will be renewed interest in becoming an Elvis impersonator! Cool.

A text description of this slide follows

When Elvis died, there were an estimated 37 Elvis impersonators. In 1993, when this report was done—and it is not a CDC report—it estimated that there were 48,000 Elvis impersonators worldwide. And that was an exponential growth curve, projected out, would say there would be 2.5 billion Elvis impersonators present by 2010. Most people do not think that is very likely, and I know my wife does not use it in her guidance counseling regarding career paths.
