Some of the deadliest jobs in the nation are in rural places. The Washington Post reports lumberjacks, fisherman, and pilots run the greatest risk at work. In general, people who work with heavy machinery like combines, oil rigs, or tractors are a good deal of danger.
Farming, ranching, truck driving is about twice as hazardous as being a police officer.
Transportation accidents account for 40 percent of all deaths on the job.
