If we look at the collated data from NY Times, apart from Taxi-drivers, we see that "Managers & administrators" (mainly shop & restaurant owners) are another 10% and "Sales-related Occupations" (mainly store-minding clerical workers) are another 20%. So a majority (50.4%) of Pakistanis are occupied in driving taxis, operating gas stations and running halaal or liquor stores (top three percent-wise). In Science-related etcetera, it does not look like Pakistan is exactly shining at this time.

Here are the data:
