Whatever we\u00a0may believe about love at first sight, new research from Bloomberg Business<\/a>\u00a0 shows that our beloved’s\u00a0occupation may have a lot to do with whom\u00a0we actually end up marrying.<\/p>\n The research, based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2014 American Community Survey, which comprises data from more than 3.5 million households, shows just what occupations tend to pair up.<\/p>\n The most matched marital pairing in America is between grade\u00a0school teachers (years one to eight) and, predictably, most high-earning professionals such as lawyers and doctors often\u00a0marry their economic equals.<\/p>\n The data shows that ‘middle and low-tier women tend to ‘marry up.’ So, says\u00a0Bloomberg Business<\/a>, “female CEOs<\/span> tend to marry other CEOs; male CEOs are OK marrying their secretaries<\/span>.”<\/p>\n The most featured occupation on the list – across more industries than any other – was that of a teacher with more other professions marrying those who were primary and high school teachers than any other profession. Teachers, as wives and, to a lesser degree, husbands were among the preferred spouses for tax collectors, bus drivers, information systems managers, fishing workers, food scientists and community health workers – among dozens of other industries.<\/p>\n
