In addition to education and job history, some people will put some personal details about themselves on a resume, including special skills or interests that may or may not be relevant to the job at hand. An analysis of 35 million resumes performed by Zippia and outlined by Fast Company has found that the weirdest interests that people choose to disclose tend to be rather consistent from state to state. For instance, in Massachusetts people most frequently mention an interest in witchcraft; in Texas, apparently, lots of people mention Bigfoot; Alaska apparently has a higher proportion of Klingon language enthusiasts (qatlh Alaska?); people from Montana mention their wives a lot (or maybe just wives as a general societal phenomenon; it's not entirely clear); as can be expected, people in Georgia mention peaches a lot; and people from Washington like mentioning space.

In New York, it's arguing, which seems to make sense for a state with more lawyers than any other in the union; 184,662 according to the American Bar Association.
