People deceive their partners for a variety of reasons, but according to a recent survey, your chances of cheating also depend on your work.
Ashley Madison is a controversial online dating site that serves people who are married or in a relationship. The site recently conducted a survey of members' careers.
The survey revealed some interesting findings-while the site was designed for cheaters, members were surprisingly loyal to their careers, with 44 percent saying they had never changed jobs. The rest say they only change jobs every 10 years.
It also summarizes the occupations men and women are most likely to cheat on.
Male:
1. Craftsman
Craftsmen came first, with 29% of men in the industry.
Isabella Mises (Isabella Mise), director of communications at Ashley Madison, said mechanics were working shifts and random hours, which made them prone to cheating on their partners.
"craftsmen often work irregular hours and often need shifts, which means men are more likely to be sneaking around with an extramarital partner," Mises said.
2.IT
Twelve percent of the site's male interviewees are in the IT industry.
3. Entrepreneurs (male and female)
Surprisingly, entrepreneurs are third, both male and female.
The survey suggests that this may be because entrepreneurs "control their sex life like a business."

Waiters, bartenders, baristes and hotel employees accounted for 8% of male respondents.
