This is absolutely brutal to use. I'd like to search for something specific but can't ctrl-f, and visually searching is useless. Very cool in concept

#42Most interesting connection I saw: "Eligibility Interviewers, Government Programs" "Unemployed, with no work experience in last 5 years"
Hah! They must marry their customers.

#43Business Insider has run several articles of the urban college female "problem". With 30% more females obtaining college degrees currently than males plus that males generally dont marry up, there is a surplus of 20-something college females in all metropolitan areas except San Francisco and Washington DC. Good news for guys then. One silly article tried explain the success of hookup apps is that more desperate femal…
How is that silly? It could be that commitment and sex have become inverted in order as the preferences of the scarce "resource".

#44I guess I should stop using Tinder/OkCupid, and start going to teacher meetings
Its really weird but it does seem like most of my peers either married other people in software development or teachers. No idea why.

#45The usability of the page is pathetic. First, the fonts are too small. If you enlarge then you can't scroll horizontally to see the rest of the titles because the lines get in the way. Didn't anyone think to make the graph clickable instead of just mouse-over. And on top of everything we have the heading of the site that floats and gets in the way. Fucking hell. Someone saw the graph and said, wow let's just use it b…
On my mac using Chrome, if I pinch zoom I can see the text and scroll around for what I want, then pinch zoom out and don't move the pointer.

#46The number of professions that connect to registered nurses seems really high. Especially in the gay male community. Huh.
looks at Facebook
Wow. I do know a lot of gay male nurses.
Disclaimer: I don't know of any stereotyping around that, but if there is, I'm certainly not trying to contribute to it.

#47I don't see homemaker (i.e. housewife, stay at home dad, etc) on there. I wonder if it's because it doesn't rank high enough or just wasn't included in the data set. I'd imagine that the higher paying jobs would lean more towards a single income household.
Probably because that's not tracked as a profession beacuse it's not really one. You are tracked by what you actually learned. People become stay at home mums/dad in the relationship, not before.

Anyone who thinks being a homemaker is not a profession has no clue what it entails. If you consider a couple as a single unit, it's simply optimizing by specialization. When you look at the cost of baby-sitting/nannies it makes a lot of sense too. Why make $40K extra if I'm going to spend $35K on a nanny?

No you're tracked by what your current position is. I'm pretty sure that office assistants who studied literature are still tracked as office assistants.
> People become stay at home mums/dad in the relationship, not before.
Exactly and this data represents a set of married people, not a set of jobs. If it doesn't include homemaker as an option then you've excluded all married single income households.

#48This chart is massively unusable.
As a guy, what occupation do I need to be in to increase my chances of marrying a woman CEO?

Can we talk about your opinion of it not being a profession? I've always noticed that good homemakers share the same qualities of a good professional. Organized, punctual, good communicator, and good manager. They don't earn a paycheck from an employer, but neither do other professions. A home maker simply does not stay at home and watch TV (well, a good one). There is a lot of work behind keeping a home in good standing.
Am I talking non-sense? If so, why?

As a queer woman, I have to say this doesn't seem like a problem to me and I think you've made some bad assumptions about who this is good news for.
