For every 100,000 people working in the U.S., nearly FOUR of them die on the job every year. And if you’re thinking, “The only way I could die at my job is from boredom” . . . well, that’s pretty insensitive. I can’t believe you’d say that.
Here are the six DEADLIEST jobs in America, according to a new report . . .
1. Logging workers . . . 101 deaths per 100,000 workers.
2. Roofers . . . 58 deaths per 100,000 workers.
3. Fishing and hunting workers . . . 51 deaths per 100,000 workers.
4. Construction . . . 39 deaths per 100,000 workers.
5. Aircraft pilots and flight engineers . . . 36 deaths per 100,000 workers.
