I was not surprised to see that programmers marry other programmers
I am! Everywhere I've worked the gender imbalance is so extreme that it'd be impossible unless all the guys are married to each other.
Us programmers stick together. Quite a high rate of marrying within the community. Lawyers show a similarly high number.
A criticism of the study, is that it does not normalize by how many of these professions are in the general population. So, it appears as though software analysts don't like intermarrying. However, the truth is that there simply aren't enough of them around, they are simply more likely to run into software engineers, so that's whom they marry most.
IE. This study captures P(running into a profession) x P(preference for that profession). I would love to them model P(running into a profession), so that we could get the much juicer preferences of each group for various professions.

Might be a mobile display bug, but the match% between “other ag workers” and themselves is greater than highest value of the bottom axis
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.
Why are chief executives and legislators grouped together as one profession?

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, female programmers pretty much get the pick of the pack among their peer groups. (Not judging, just stating statistics)
The other 80-ish% men in programming still need to find love somewhere, so they cast a wider net.

My own experience actually reflects this situation. On my team, the only married people are married to other software people or teachers. The unmarried all date teachers.
Obviously anecdotal but interesting.
Unfortunately, the statistician or data scientist that put this visualization together neglected to include statisticians and data scientists in the list of searchable jobs.

Well, there is an incredibly skewed gender ratio in programming. So, female programmers pretty much get the pick of the pack among their peer groups. (Not judging, just stating statistics) The other 80-ish% men in programming still need to find love somewhere, so they cast a wider net.
