Another possible reason for this is that many people are reluctant to date
people they work with and therefor it takes more for them to "break the rules"
and go out with a co-worker.  Also it could be that if you work with someone
you probably spend more time with them before asking them out than if 
you meet them in a bar.  In a bar if you don't ask someone out withing
a few hours, you will probably never see them again.  Where if you work with
someone you may know them for months and then ask them out.  It is most
likely a combination of all these factors and some that neither of have
thought of.
