99kemo on May 8, 2026 5:49 pm Lower income people get divorced at a much higher rate than higher income people. This is a well documented fact.
mkp666 on May 8, 2026 5:55 pm 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.
TheReaperSovereign on May 8, 2026 5:56 pm Construction feels low to me as someone in the industry Also would have loved to see military data lol
Moist_Ordinary6457 on May 8, 2026 6:05 pm Interesting that Pharmacists and Phlebotomists are at opposite ends of the chart, I would’ve thought they’d be similar
MightyPlasticGuy on May 8, 2026 6:08 pm Pretty fascinating how at both total ends of the spectrum are varying types of Healthcare practitioners.
PancAshAsh on May 8, 2026 6:13 pm Biggest commonality among those at the top of the chart is the night shift.
No_Help7183 on May 8, 2026 6:13 pm Now correlate it with working hours. Traditional 9-5 vs shift work etc. I bet that’s a leading factor there.
Botherguts on May 8, 2026 6:16 pm Near the very top is massage therapist and near the very bottom is physical therapist.
lollipoppizza on May 8, 2026 6:17 pm It’s very amusing to me that actuaries have by far the lowest divorce rate.
justafang on May 8, 2026 6:29 pm I work in healthcare and do side hustle in transportation, no wonder my marriage failed 😂
Kilgore48 on May 8, 2026 6:30 pm Contrary to popular…music… cowboys have lower divorce rates than doctors, lawyers, and such.
gman2093 on May 8, 2026 6:31 pm 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
