"Third, the demographic profile of the suspected Capitol rioters is different from that of past right-wing extremists. The average age of the arrestees we studied is 40. *Two-thirds are 35 or older, and 40 percent are business owners or hold white-collar jobs.* Unlike the stereotypical extremist, many of the alleged participants in the Capitol riot have a lot to lose. *They work as CEOs, shop owners, doctors, lawyers, IT specialists, and accountants. *Strikingly, court documents indicate that only 9 percent are unemployed. Of the earlier far-right-extremist suspects we studied, 61 percent were under 35, 25 percent were unemployed, and almost none worked in white-collar occupations."
