Do you have a reference for that 1% claim? In my field you wouldn't get anywhere if you didn't publish at least one major or several minor papers each year.
Sorry for my late reply. Yes, I do have a reference, which I give below.
Ioannidis, J.P.A., Boyack, K.W., Klavans, R., "Estimates of the Continuously Publishing Core in the Scientific Workforce," PLOS ONE, 9 (7), e101698 (2014).
It is in the last sentence of the next to last paragraph on page 3.
My way of understanding this is that many Ph.Ds are not in academia (at least for my field), National Laboratory, etc. They go into many areas where publications are not the metric. Some may go into data science working for Google, Amazon, financial modeling, industry (where, depending on their role, publications may not be the metric), and of course, the defense industry (or working in an area requiring clearances). I believe we produce way more Ph.Ds than positions that put a high metric on publications (some may value patents more than publications). I hope this helps.
