I would love to see this controlled for income
Lower income people get divorced at a much higher rate than higher income people. This is a well documented fact.
This data should really be controlled for age. A 50 year old is much more likely to have been divorced than a 25 year old regardless of anything else.
Construction feels low to me as someone in the industry
Also would have loved to see military data lol
How about unemployed, former software developers?
Hard to understand these bubbles. WTH.
Interesting that Pharmacists and Phlebotomists are at opposite ends of the chart, I would’ve thought they’d be similar
Pretty fascinating how at both total ends of the spectrum are varying types of Healthcare practitioners.
Biggest commonality among those at the top of the chart is the night shift.
Now correlate it with working hours. Traditional 9-5 vs shift work etc. I bet that’s a leading factor there.
Near the very top is massage therapist and near the very bottom is physical therapist.
It’s very amusing to me that actuaries have by far the lowest divorce rate.
what is the divorce rate for russian occupation ?
Software developers dont get divorced, yeah duh!
I work in healthcare and do side hustle in transportation, no wonder my marriage failed 😂
Contrary to popular…music… cowboys have lower divorce rates than doctors, lawyers, and such.
Surgeons at 20.8 percent only slightly higher than physicians at 20.1 is surprising to me, I guess I have seen too much hospital drama TV
This is basically saying „Marry a nerd if you don’t want to get divorced“.
The occupations with the lowest divorce rates were actuaries, scientists, software developers, physical therapists (there’s the outlier), physicians, clergy, pharmacists, and other engineering fields. All about as nerdy as you can get.
Likely it’s correlation more than causation. All these professions require the ability to study, concentrate, and mentally focus for hours at a time. This ability usually comes from being able to *trust* early on in life, and in being raised in a supportive and secure environment, and that kind of upbringing also helps in not getting divorced.
Was “military” not an option in the survey? Because let me tell you …
Never before or since have I seen people divorced four times before they hit their 30th birthday. But we had at least two in a crew of 140.
How does it compute with someone who is actuary married to a massage therapist?
Where is high voltage technician?
These groupings make no sense and might even skew the data. Why are court reports with the Artists and Recreation. That’s also a crazy big and undefined group. Phycologist being in the physical and life sciences also doesn’t make sense. And why Office/Support and Education have two separate but related graphs doesn’t make sense. Visually, is a great concept, but data wise a hot mess.
To me the great mystery here is how telemarketers ever got someone to marry them in the first place.
Computer nerds, winning again.
It feels kind of weird to count marriages that end in the death of a partner as divorce. Relative job-to-job comparisons might not be as affected, but the divorce rates in absolute terms might be overestimated.
I found the difference between Massage therapist 48% N= 33,012 vs physical thrapists 19% N=51,166 pretty funny.
Among the highest and lowest divroce rates respectively. wonder why that is.
The data I would like to see is which *pairings* have the highest divorce rates. If you’re an engineer, are you more likely to get divorced if you marry an engineer or if you marry a lawyer?
…well I married a nurse, damn
Food prep: pretty much all in the middle…..
*Bartenders*
Dentist, every dentist I’ve ever met has left their wife for one of their dental techs
Kinda surprised surgeons are so low. Dr. Glaucomfleken makes skits about how surgeons are constantly getting divorced.
I was in a situation with a surgeon resident once. Maybe it was because it was me. She had zero interest in me and she mainly wanted to get past this marriage thing. We broke it off cause shes too into her research and residency. Not gonna lie it kinda fucked me up for a bit but hey shes passionate about something so csnt fault her. I got over it
I feel like this is more due to income than occupation…
STEM FTW.
Maybe income level but also STEM people are critical thinkers. We don’t just jump into shit willy nilly.
And the core design principle of any engineering field is „keep it simple, stupid.“ There is no easier way to complicate your life than marrying the wrong person.
Clergy and physicians sharing a divorce rate is not a stat I would’ve guessed.
Somewhat confused about distinction between a „Space Scientist“, „Astronomers and Physicists“, and a „Physical Scientist.“
Seems like the nerds are doing alright for themselves. Gotta find me an accountant…
Gender would be a nice intersection here.
As an actuary who has been divorced, I’m glad to see I’m a rare commodity
I love the actuaries are lowest 😀
no surprise that massage therapist is the highest 😉
Seems like the ones with heavy interpersonal interactions with clients, or lots of downtime/non-work tend to be higher.
The lower rate folks appear to be in analytical, problem solving, busy fields, which likely help resolve marital issues.
I’m in IT, and honestly I’m too busy most days to strike up frivolous conversation that would lead to extramarital relationships or developing feelings of discontent that may lead to a divorce.
While folks are skeptical of IQ in statistics, but I’d be curious to see that overlay.
Moral of story: pay attention in Math class.
Low divorce rates = rational professions
High divorce rate = unstable, difficult, or scammy professions
so tldr: people in higher socioeconomic classes both tend to have higher education, better jobs, and also longer lasting relationships.
<shocker>
Where is “Unemployed”? That’s gotta be up there.
You guys are getting married?
I’m surprised nurses aren’t higher
