Another factor which adds to the “red state, blue state” phenomenon is that in national elections, its winner take all. If this were not the case, we would be seeing shades of purple in many cases; yet there are indeed some states which are solidly blue. But the larger question is indeed the connection between political ideology and occupation, and how those occupations are stratified geographically. Perhaps the next step would be to understand how people arrive in their occupations in the first place? How often are choices made according to political ideology? How often to people arrive at their job by happenstance, and develop a political ideology according to their resulting conditions?
