Do they correct for age? How? It seems like they're just considering the raw divorce rate per year, but obviously software developers have a different age distribution than some of the established industry jobs, so the comparison doesn't seem fair.
The same folks show divorce rate by age: https://flowingdata.com/2016/03/30/divorce-rates-for-different-groups/ https://flowingdata.com/2016/03/30/divorce-rates-for-differe...
- Bartweiss 9y agoThis is a great point. Married people who are e.g. doctors are going to have a minimum age way above that of e.g. flight attendants, and that's definitely relevant to odds of divorce. Either they were married before choosing their positions, and therefore have already been married for quite a while, or they got married older, dropping their divorce risk.
