Rarely do you see superheroes have a real job and then go fight crime or whatever. Superman is a reporter, Spider-Man is a photographer, Daredevil is a lawyer. But what superhero just had a regular office job or something?

I thought being a soldier stood a fair chance, at least at the time of original publication. Not sure if your data considers that position?
Well, it’s easy enough to check, but I imagine that it does. Most countries don’t honestly have that many peacetime soldiers (though wartime is going to affect things). If you’re North Korea, maybe, as they have a very large military.

In the US, even if you counted every single active-duty person in all of the armed forces as a “soldier” — which I’m sure is not actually the case — you’d have 1.3 million people.
The smallest category in the chart I listed was office clerks, at 2.5 million.

North Korea also has 1.3 million active-duty people in its military, but it has a far-smaller population than the US does, 26 million instead of 340 million. So in North Korea, if you counted “uniformed services” as one profession, it’d be easily higher than any occupation as a percentage-of-population than those listed above for the US. The largest category for the US — the home and health care aides — has 4 million, so 1% of the population. The active-duty military would be 5% of the population for North Korea.
I guess I had initially interpreted “normal” meaning the percent of people who have once in their life held that job, rather than the percent of people holding the job at any given time.
