As the list of those missing in the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks becomes more accurate, a picture of the average victim is emerging. Dedicated, early bird, go-getter, workaholic, on the rise---these are the phrases that seem to best describe those who remain unaccounted for. The fate of workers in the WTC buildings also seems to vary according to the floor on which they worked---with survivors rare among those working above the 90th floor, and job-type---lawyers seem to have fared better than traders.
