Optometrists Divorce Less Than Clergy

I read this today:
Optometry has one of the lowest divorce rates—about 4%—among any profession. Indeed, O.D.s are more likely to stay married than clergy members (who have a 5.6% rate of divorce), according to a study of divorce rates among different occupations published in the online edition of the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology.

Other jobs with the lowest divorce rates include media/communications equipment workers (0%), agricultural engineers (1.8%), transit/railroad police (5.3%) and podiatrists (6.8%).

Occupations with the highest divorce rates are dancers/choreographers (43%), bartenders (38%) and massage therapists (38%).
