If "percentage of population" means percentage of STATE population and not percentage of US population, then at first glance, some states can be expected to be a surprising shade of blue.
9 engineers in a state with a population of 10 would turn that state dark blue. A state with 900 engineers in a population of a million would be lighter....
Damien will have to tell us if he used percentages of state populations or percentages of US population.

PS: Plus, the occasional large installation in the middle of nowhere (like Los Alamos) will surprise you the first time you realize just how big they are.
