Taranto's data seems somewhat high to me; it is certainly less than 10 percent.
With approximately 300 million people in the USA, would you believe that 30 million have Master's degrees? Sounds like a lot of people, don't you think?
2 percent would be 6 million people with Master's degrees. Still a large number, but probably closer than 30 million.

The U.S. census bureau tracks national educational attainment data. I think you'll find the info you want at:
