20 18 top ten high-risk jobs in the United States

Friends who want to immigrate to the United States must understand the types of jobs in the United States. So what jobs in the United States are high-risk jobs? Let me introduce you.

10. Construction workers

The construction industry accounts for the majority of workplace deaths. In 20 12 years, 775 people died in industrial accidents. But per capita, it is the safest of the top ten deadliest occupations, with only 9.5 deaths per 654.38 million workers. However, this subclass is more deadly. There are 265,438+00 construction workers who use power tools and are in an environment where they may be hit by heavy materials, which makes the total per capita mortality rate reach 65,438+07.4, and every 654,380+000 workers die. The average annual salary of construction workers is $34500.

9. Farm workers, ranchers and agricultural managers

It is not surprising that the use of heavy agricultural machinery at work will lead to disproportionate industrial accidents. In 20 12 years, the number of work-related deaths of farm workers and pasture workers was 2 16, reaching a total of 2 1.3 deaths per 65438+ 10,000 people. However, according to the data of FinancesOnline, the salary of this industry ranks second among all the most dangerous jobs in the United States, with an average salary of $73,700. However, it is worth mentioning that the risk will change greatly according to the different types of farming. You are more likely to die in a cattle farm (dead in 20 1 12/3) than in a wheat field (dead in 20 12).

8. Drivers, including mobile salesmen

Because the most common cause of work-related death is traffic-related, whether it is a traffic accident or being hit by a car, the average death rate of truck drivers, taxi drivers and mobile salesmen is the eighth highest-221654.38 million deaths-which may be predictable. It is worth mentioning that this mortality rate is seven times higher than the general fatal accident mortality rate of all occupations-only 3.2 deaths per 6,543,800 people. Is the reward worth the risk? Almost not worth it. Among the deadliest occupations in the United States, drivers and salesmen have the lowest average annual salary, with an average annual income of $27,700.

7. Power line installation and maintenance personnel

65438+ 10 earlier in the month, the polar vortex of many roads and enterprises in the central and western regions, the east coast and Canada was closed, and one kind of workers kept working-a team of workers was responsible for repairing and installing transmission and distribution lines and sending electricity back to thousands of storm-ravaged power users. Handling live wires is dangerous enough. However, as a group of people who work together at sub-zero temperatures can attest, those who repair wires are often assigned to the worst weather conditions, just when winter storms blow down telephone poles and tear wires. The possibility of death in this industry is 23 out of 654.38+10,000 people, making it the seventh deadliest occupation in the United States. The average annual salary is $62300.

6. Garbage and recyclable material collectors

According to the data of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 276,5438+0 workers died out of every 654.38+million who picked up garbage and recyclable materials. What makes it such a dangerous profession? One of the reasons is that you have to drive a lot of cars. But also exposed to harmful substances and heavy equipment. The average annual salary is $35200.

5. Steel workers in the construction industry

Casting burning metal, welding steel beams together and hoisting buildings at the same time make steel workers in the construction industry one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States, with 37 deaths per 65,438+10,000 workers. The number of deaths and work-related injuries in the construction industry increased for the second consecutive year at 20 12. The average annual salary is $50700.

4. Roofers

Construction work is the three deadliest occupations, but no other construction work is as dangerous as building a roof. The average death rate of roofers is 40.5 per 6.5438+10,000 people. Not surprisingly, tripping, slipping and falling from the roof explain most deaths. But in 20 12 years, heatstroke also constituted one of the causes of death. It is worth mentioning that although the number of deaths in the construction industry increased in 20 12, the industry was far safer than in 2006, when the number of Americans engaged in the construction industry died in industrial accidents was 4 1% more than in 20 12. The average annual salary of roofers is $38,800.

3. Aircraft pilots and aircraft engineers

Before you panic about boarding the plane, you should know that most of the deaths of pilots and aircraft engineers occur in "unscheduled" flights of goods and passengers. Private pilots are more likely to die than commercial pilots. The per capita mortality rate in this industry ranks third, with 53.4 deaths per 654.38+ 10,000 people. However, it is also the highest paid job among the top ten most dangerous jobs in the United States, with an average annual salary of $65,438+028,800.

2. Fishing boats

Commercial fishing is far from the idyllic scenery where fishermen sit by a calm lake. Is a dangerous occupation, need to enter the depths of the lake, and even often accompanied by rough waves. And the deck under your feet is shaking with every wave, and you have to throw fishing nets and navigate heavy equipment. Traffic accidents are the cause of almost all fatal accidents. The mortality rate of this occupation is 654.38+10,000 people 1 17. The average annual salary is $36900.

1. recorder

As far as per capita mortality is concerned, there are no jobs as dangerous as lumberjacks in the United States. 128 out of every 654.38+10,000 logging workers died. Most deaths are caused by contact injuries-fallen trees and saws. Can its reward make up for such a risk? You decide. The average annual salary is $34600.
