What is the most dangerous job other than firemen or police?

Public Comments

1. Alaskan crab fishing
2. I remember a study of the most dangerous jobs. I think the top two were commercial fisherman and miners. I believe their on-the-job mortality rates are higher than those for firefighters or police.
3. working on all types of power lines, while their still hot.
4. Crabbers in the Bering Sea, soldiers, construction workers.
5. Any job in Oakland, Calif.
6. Mercer remembers the same things I do, Fishing in the in the Artic and Mining are the two most dangerous careers per capita.
7. freeway workers (Cal-Trans were I live) get killed more than Police and Firemen combined.
8. miners, people that work on bridge repairs, rescue divers
9. cab driver
10. teachers in inner city schools

12. An unsuspecting husband who comes home to an angry housewife who found out he was cheating and who is also PMSing it!! Sounds pretty dangerous to me!!!
13. I think logging rates pretty high.
14. Soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan have a pretty dangerous job.
15. Lumber jack, working on a fishing boat, air refueling.
16. Interestingly, according to a Bureau of Labor Statics report, neither firemen nor police are among the most dangerous jobs in terms of fatalities. As it turns out, logging is the most dangerous job according on-the-job fatality rates.

18. Working for Bill or Hillary Clinton the trail of bodies keeps growing.
