Boy, sure are a lot of professions married to teachers.

Lots of people are teachers. Also any of the heavily gendered professions appear this way because given a hetero relationship, there is a relatively high chance at least one person is in one of these.

Lastly I know some people who avoiding marrying other teachers because the combined salary is less than many single professions.

I know some teacher couples that are busy coming to terms with this problem.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm not sure quite what you're getting at. Can you elaborate?

Might be a mobile display bug, but the match% between “other ag workers” and themselves is greater than highest value of the bottom axis

Can see it on laptop too.

I was not surprised to see that programmers marry other programmers

I am but I am not as well.

I have found male programmers to have a more diverse dating/marriage pool, though most are still "tech"-y office jobs e.g. designer. That's just middle/upper middle class sticking together though.

Female programmers I've met almost exclusively date or are married to other programmers.

So it overflows the chart on desktop Firefox for me, but, the buttom axis caps out on the right at 22%. It looks like they hardcoded the graph axis, and so since other agricultural workers are at 23%, it overflows.
