The 10 Most Dangerous Jobs
Which job is most likely to get you killed?
To start off, here's a list of the 10 most dangerous occupations in America.
More precisely, it's a list of the occupations that had the highest fatality rates per 100,000 workers based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Number one on the list is a tie between logging and aircraft pilots at 92.4 fatalities per 100,000.
Here's the rest of the list:
3. Fishers & Fishing Workers: 86.4
4. Iron & Steel Workers: 47.3
5. Garbage Collectors: 43.2
6. Farmers & Ranchers: 37.5
7. Roofers: 34.9
8. Power Line Installers/Repairers: 30
9. Truckers and Driver/Sales Workers (such as pizza delivery persons): 27.6
10. Taxi Drivers & Chauffeurs: 24.2

Just to provide a little perspective. As an example from my own job, I know a pharmacist who was shot by bikers who were robbing him, another pharmacist who was tied up with duct tape and threatened with a knife, and several other pharmacists who have had guns pointed at them in the course of hold-ups. I have had HIV positive people spit at me, and I was slightly injured last year when an irate Oxycontin addict, annoyed that I wouldn't fill his dodgy Oxycontin script, threw bottles at me.
Health care workers get assaulted all the time.
