More appropriately, given the methodology they used, would be "Most Disproportionately High Job Type in Each State".


Among the unsurprising:

California:  farm workers
Texas:  petroleum engineers
DC:  political scientists
West Virginia:  miners
Washington:  aircraft assemblers (home of Boeing, after all)
"Oil and Gas Drillers" in North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Wyoming
"Loggers" in Oregon and Maine


Among the humorous or just weird:

Connecticut:  actuaries
Louisiana:  sailors
Maryland:  subway operators
Minnesota:  food scientist
Missouri:  psychiatric technicians
New Jersey:  marriage and family therapists
South Dakota:  college residential advisor
Vermont:  highway maintenance worker


Indiana's (boilermakers) certainly explains Purdue University's mascot.

As someone who has done a lot of work in the insurance agency, that one doesn't surprise me much due to the presence in that state of a well-known very large insurance carrier founded in (and named after) that state's capital city in 1810.

Would that be the City of Aetna, CIGNA, or Travelers?

Point being, Hartford's loaded up with insurance companies, not just The Hartford.

That is all true, but The Hartford is the rather obvious one and that's why I cited it.

(I always liked referring to the St. Paul in written documents. My boss didn't like it at first and said we should say "St. Paul." She changed her mind when I asked her, "So did St. Paul deny coverage before or after his experience on the Road to Damascus?")

So, do Vermont roads reflect its outsize proportion of highway maintenance workers?
