Professions With The Highest Divorce Rates

Regardless of what the salary is, jobs can take a serious toll on a marriage. Stress, long hours, time away from home...it all adds up and, unfortunately, adds up negatively.

As of September 2021, Louisiana had one of the highest divorce rates in the United States. At that time, the divorce rate in Louisiana was approximately 20.8 per 1,000 married individuals, which was higher than the national average.
