After abit of googling :O)

Comfirmation comes from the census bureau:

The ratio of retail trade employees paying taxes to retail trade establishments that would be subject to NRST is greater than 12:1

1992 Census of Retail Trade, U.S. Summary

Seeing that not everyone works in retail trade, 90% fewer collection points is very conservative.
