Ashley Madison survey reveals the most unfaithful professions.
It seems that if you are a tradie, doctor or entrepreneur you are among the professions with the highest number of dirty cheaters.
PEOPLE cheat on their partners for all sorts of reasons — but according to a recent survey, your likelihood of being unfaithful could also depend on your job.
Ashley Madison, the controversial online dating service for people who are married or in relationships, recently polled members on what they did for a living.
The survey revealed some interesting insights — while the website has been created specifically for cheaters, members were surprisingly loyal to their careers, with 44 percent claiming they never switch jobs, with the rest saying they only changed roles every 10 years.
The survey showed the percentage the different percentage of women and men.
MEN:
1. Trades
Tradies took out the top spot for the blokes, with 29 percent of respondents working in the trades.
According to Isabella Mise, Ashley Madison’s director of communications, tradies’ shift work and random hours make it easier to do the dirty on their partners.
“Jobs in trades often mean irregular hours and are often structured in shift work meaning it’s easier for men to fly under the radar when it comes to sneaking around with an affair partner,” The Independent reported Ms Mise as saying.
2. IT
12 percent of male cheaters work in IT.
3. Entrepreneurs (both male and female)
Surprisingly, entrepreneurs came in at number three for both men and women.
According to the survey, that could be because entrepreneurs “are likely to take charge of their sex life the way they do their business”.

Waiters, bartenders, baristas, and hotel workers made up 8 percent of male respondents.
