Obviously not all bretons are mages, but as most of their preset skills are magic skills then i can asume that atleast 1/3 of the population are trained mages. That's a terrible assumption.

By that logic 1/3 of Dunmer are assassins, and 1/3 of all imperials are master diplomats....... they are not.

The vast majority of each race's population is untrained farmers/laborers, with no real skill in magic, much like the common folk of Morrowind, Cyrodiil, and Skyrim, as portrayed in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim/
