I also wonder about the background and occupations of those attending. My guess is that they are mostly teachers or government employees. I would love to know the breakdown.
I would also be very interested in how many received financial incentives; I would wager more than half.
I do observe that this "march" was more than highly organized, with posters appearing nearly everywhere around my town for long in advance; and organizers taking every e-mail opportunity to fuel the mass paranoia and hysteria.
Oh, and the pink (you-know-what) hats made a statement, but it's not what they had in mind.
