    I think it was in the last year that the Crafts Report published a
    survey on this very issue.  Of course that demographic doesn't
    include retailers and bench jewelers such as are on this list. 

    The results of that survey were depressing -- the majority of
    respondents did not rely soley on their metalwork for family income. 

    They broke it down into part timers and full timers. 

    You may be able to find it on their website.  It might have been in
    the Insight section.
