Based on BLS reporting, Business and Finance jobs are among the least deadliest professions … except for paper cuts and missed deadline coronaries, there’s not much risk of work-related deaths.
At the other end of the spectrum, “The Deadliest Catch” is on target … fishermen really do have the greatest risk of dying on-the-job.
According to PlanetMoney …
In 2011, fishermen died on-the-job at a rate of 121 per 100,000 fishermen … mostly drowning after boats capsized.
Logging was 2nd … mostly falls from trees and chainsaw accidents.
The pilots who dies were mostly small plane pilots … e.g. crop-dusters and bush-pilots.
