The top 10 naughtiest professions where your partner is most likely to cheat – and some might surprise you
THE top 10 professions where your partner is most likely to cheat have been unveiled – and there’s some very surprising job groups that have made the cut.
After new research showed that a whopping 85 per cent of affairs begin in the workplace – with one in five confessing to having played away with an employee – many began to wonder which professions were most likely to be tempted by forbidden fruit.
And it makes for uncomfortable reading for those in relationships, as all sorts of careers are included in the list compiled by RANT Casino.
The experts surveyed 3.8k individuals across the UK to find out where infidelity thrives – with those who work in sales coming out on top of the list of those most likely to be found in another person’s bed.
Of the people questioned, 14.5 per cent of sales workers admitted to infidelity, with things like irregular working hours and fancy work functions or networking events said to be the reason.
In second position, with 13.7 per cent, were those who have a job in education from teachers to university professors and lecturers.
The entry might slightly surprise people, but Rant said: “You never know what sort of extracurricular activity your teacher spouse is involved in, being named among the naughtiest of professionals.”
The third spot went to healthcare workers, with 12.5 per cent saying they’d cheated with a colleague behind their partner’s back.
Possible excuses included long and unpredictable hours, overnight emergency shifts, and turning to a colleague for support, knowing that they understood exactly what you are going through.
Slightly further down, the fourth most likely profession to cheat was anyone from Transport and logistics (9.8 per cent), while in fifth position it was those that spend their time working in Hospitality and events management (7.7 per cent).
Other potentially untrustworthy professions included Engineering and manufacturing (6.6 per cent), Property and Construction (5.5%),and Accountancy, banking and finance (5.4 per cent),
While people who followed a career in Information technology (4.6 per cent) and those enrolled in the Armed Forces (four per cent) completed the top ten.
But it wasn’t all bad news, as some people can breathe a big sigh of relief.
At the other end of the spectrum were people working in Science and pharmaceuticals and Business, consulting and management, who both only made up 0.1 per cent of the statistics.
Elsewhere, of the people asked if they’d cheated, only 0.2 per cent worked in Law enforcement and security, 0.4 per cent in Creative arts and design and 0.5 per cent in Media and internet.
That same figure was applied to those in the Law/Legal profession, showing they are a stickler for the rules at all times.
Other low-ranking professions ranged from Retail (1.4 per cent) to Marketing, advertising and PR (0.9 per cent).
