1 Logging workers 92.4 85

10 Taxi drivers and chauffeurs 24.2 67




There's the top ten most dangerous jobs in America, death rate for 100,000 and total deaths per year. I don't see cop anywhere on that list, spare me the "danger" speech. Funny, but none of the occupations on that list are allowed carte blanche to violate the publics' civil rights either. Being a SWAT jackboot is exponentially less dangerous than being a garbarge man. LMAO

I think your list is wrong.

#1 should read: Retired 80 year old elderly couple sleeping

That is if you consider retirement an occupation. I consider sleeping an occupation :)

Someone else once posted the bottom of that list.

Gardeners were more likely to die on the job than police.

Chivalry is dead.

As I recall from that list, they rank is somewhere near 30. - just slightly safer than landscape gardeners

Former Chauffer in NYC for about five years. I never realized it was the 10th most dangerous job in America. Think I can get extra points for being a female in NYC?

LMAO!
