“Also, what percentage of the population was involved in agriculture in 1812, compared to today?”

Probably 75% with another %15 in fishing and livestock for a total of 90% participating in food production.Also, many farmers had additional businesses like furniture and farming application manufacturing.

2.6% in agriculture today. That leaves the rest of us time to do whatever we do to make life modern without spending all day with a hoe in our hand.

I like agribusiness. It keeps billions of people alive. ;)
