Honestly, kind of boring results.
- Volume wins out: there are lots of teachers and nurses
- Like-marries-like: most marry someone in their own profession
Not that boring is bad. Just interesting that the trends overshadow any kind of special results.
- Gunax 5y agoYea, I think a more interesting analysis would have based on frequency of profession. That is, how far away (+% / -%) from a random matching is it?
- SomewhatLikely 5y agoWas thinking the same. Something like pointwise mutual information would do the trick.
- aitchnyu 5y agoYeah, this vis needs to filter out teachers and nurses since they are top results for anybody, and/or professions need to be color coded by category so I can glance at a list of 15 items and see that ${medicalprofessional} surprisingly marries educators.
- Terretta 5y agoRather than filter just those two, it could have an option to re-weight by availability.
- Litmus2336 5y agoI'm also curious what percentage of people married to people in their career field is due to meeting on the job. Are you more likely to marry someone in your profession? Or is "working together" just a very common way to meet your spouse?
