Interesting how drivers and healthcare workers are outliers in a lot of metrics. Did anyone else notice other common outliers?

Software Developers were the most obvious outlier in Asian workers and non-citizen workers. It is surprising how much of an outlier it was, even compared to other similar white collar jobs.

If you've spent time in San Francisco or Seattle, it ceases to surprise. I worked for a while on a 120-person project, and we couldn't scape together 10 US citizens to form an on call rotation for a government contract bid...

This is because of John Hughes films and a US bullying culture. Our stem shortage is a choice and directly connected to bullying culture in US schools having ran rampant.

Most other countries, the “nerds” are popular because folks know that they are going to earn big money shortly after. Here? They’re treated like little versions of the United CEO.

Yeah it's impressive how far it is on that graph. It seems like they tend to be on the left end of the main sequence for most plots.
