What percentage of US population has a degree higher than a master's degree?

Very nearly zero.
According to the 2000 Census, there are less than 4.3 million holders of doctorate (or equivalent) degrees in the USA. If you compare that to a workforce of 138 million and assume the proportion remains approximately the same for second-time doctorate recipients, you end up with an estimate of 130,000 double-doctorate holders, or 0.09%. If instead you compare that 4.3 million to the 280 million total people in the USA (as it was then), you get an estimate closer to 65,000 double-doctorate holders, or 0.02%. That percentage might be a little higher as competition and total US population have increased since 2000, or it might be a little lower as people answering census questions may exaggerate their credentials. In any case, "very nearly zero" is still a good estimate.
