Wide Open Country:
Have you ever wondered why there were so many people in a certain career field in your state? Well, the folks over at Business Insider have created a map to show the most overrepresented job in every state.
It’s important to note that the map, which compares jobs with over 1,000 people employed, doesn’t indicate the most popular job overall in every state. As Business Insider explains, “retail salesperson” is actually the most popular career in 40 states. Using the Bureau of Labor Statistics May 2016 Occupational Employment Statistics, it was determined that the career that each state has more of per capita than the national as a whole.
Some aren’t so surprising. It makes sense that New York has the most fashion designers per capita. And woodsy Oregon fittingly has the most loggers overall.
But who would’ve guessed that the most disproportionately popular job in Missouri is “locker and coatroom attendant”? READ MORE
How many urinal attendants does Missouri need?
Bull Shit. Connecticut, home of the Lathe operator. What, the don’t mill anything. California, Farm workers. Just so happens there’s been no water in California. That stats bull shit too.
wonder why florida has so many special ed teachers?
“wonder why florida has so many special ed teachers?”
Hmm. I only know one person that’s moved there in that time frame.
What in the living hell is a ‘roof bolter’?….
“What in the living hell is a ‘roof bolter’?….”
You know, A roof bolter. Jeeez.
The best part of this posting by MJA is thinking about her stuffing some snack in her face and belly laughing. All the while snickering and whispering to herself or others…”Look at this shit that I just made them look at with some sort of purpose”…
Total made up BS. But cute.
Reminds me. It’s about time to get my roof re-bolted.
Here in mining Alaska, who knew there were so many when the environmental Nazis are trying to shut operations down all over the place?
Oh and Florida–what’s up with so many SPED teachers? I don’t know for sure, but we have a radio show that plays a game each weekday morning called “It Happened in Florida.” That place is known here for being filled with super freaky deaky weirdos, and all the crazy shit happens in the Sunshine State.
Special ed teachers sounds about right for Florida but they definitely got NY wrong. The most disproportionately popular profession in NY is professional welfare cheating leech.
Yea, mining service operator isn’t right. One out of every three people employed in Alaska has a government job.
Total crap.

Coal mining…..roof bolts secure the top of the mine.
My 1st real job waaaay back, was at a factory that made them.
Loved WV’s entry… “roof bolter.” Amazes me that a few thin metal rods can keep hundreds of feet of the earth’s crust from crashing into a coal mine.
Surprised that Nevada’s isn’t “exercise equipment assembler.”
ny is “fashion designers” !
ha ha ha, only in the city….
Got Utah right. Every other person I know works for the BLM.
California is “farm workers”? I would’ve thought it was “smug, self-righteous, selfish assholes”
