@nixCraft related to type of persona taking the job or type of job? Eg high risk, high reward gaming industry might attract high risk taking people in general.

@anthropy @nixCraft Additional context needed. Like Anthropy says, does this account for unmarried? Is the percentage absolute? About 40-50% of first marriages in the U.S. end in divorce (it is higher for second marriages). If the percentage is absolute then the "high divorce rate jobs" appear to be within statistical uncertainty of the population average. And the low divorce rate jobs may be an unhealthy indicator - people staying married unhappily when the general population would have left.

Who has time for marriage when you have to build an emergency patch for that update your manager forced you to push out on a Friday?
