Bus drivers are among those most commonly divorced or separated at 48%. Bartenders, vocational nurses, and massage therapists show similar.

Actuaries, professional estimators of risk, are way at the bottom at only 14%. Physical scientists are almost as equally measured.

Healthcare support and transportation have higher divorce rates, which matches with the overall chart. The computer and math category, along with architecture and engineering, tends towards lower rates.

Some categories, such as protective service or healthcare practitioners, cover a wider range instead of clustering in one spot. This usually means the category has more variation in jobs.

It all makes sense now. My girl friend is a massage therapist and my wife is a vocational nurse.

"In 2024, among Petroleum, mining and geological engineers, including mining safety engineers married at least once, 21% were divorced or separated or had been divorced before."

Closest thing I could find.

I need to see the one for field hands. And average # of baby mamas would be a good one too.
