In a recent game, many of the players asked me, "how many runners are there?"

To which I replied, there are probably quite many here in Seattle (base setting), but they'd be rarer in some areas and more numerous in others. But then, it got me to thinking. What would be the average ration (in 2070's Seattle) of runners to sararimen?

I'm thinking in terms of:
Magicians (any type)
Mystic Adepts
Adepts
Razorboys and Gillettes
Hackers
Riggers
other specialists?

How many would be professionals? How many are just wannabe's? How many are near retirement? How many would be up and comers?

You see, if the ratio of runners to people is high, then there would be more of them competing for the same jobs which would result in lower salaries, too few and then they become conspicious.
