An interesting graph of jobs in the movies by decade.
Occupations of the two top-billed characters, in the top-ten highest grossing films per year (1926-2010). Each job arranged by gender distribution and the decade of most frequent occurrence. In cases of ties between decades the size of the circle and gender distribution shows is that of the job, total. The 50 most common jobs are shown.

Baiting headline? Why not “Rebekah Brooks rises to top in tabloid culture?” Or something along those lines…
