Chart: The most liberal and conservative jobs in America
By Ana Swanson June 3
You can probably guess that environmentalists and yoga instructors are more
likely to be Democrats -- and oil workers to be Republicans. But what about
flight attendants, talk show hosts, and neurosurgeons?
Verdant Labs, which makes a baby names app, recently published an extensive
chart on the average political affiliations of various professions. To
create the graphic, the company aggregated data from the Federal Election
Commission on contributions to political parties, and used that information
as a proxy for political views.
As the graphic below shows, midwives, taxi drivers, flight attendants, park
rangers, pediatricians and architects are all more likely to lean to the
left than the right. In contrast, business owners, talk show hosts, beer
wholesalers, surgeons and Catholic priests are more likely to be
conservative.
There are also some interesting divisions among branches of a single
profession, or different jobs within one workplace. You might notice above
that pediatricians are more likely to be liberal, but urologists and
neurosurgeons are more likely to be conservative. Verdant Labs also points
out that preschool teachers are twice as likely as high school teachers to
be Republican, and economics professors are seven times as likely as English
professors to be Republican.
Here are some more interesting divisions. In the military, the Marines and
Air Force tend to be significantly more conservative than the Army and Navy:
While most farmers are conservative, cattle feeders are the farthest to the
right, and retired farmers even lean a little liberal:
There are strong political divisions within the restaurant business, with
managers and owners much more likely to be conservative than their servers
and bartenders:
Golf appears to be the most conservative sport, while poker is probably the
most liberal:
Economists are actually very liberal overall, but they still look
conservative compared to anthropologists: |
