The Most Dangerous Jobs in America (and What They Pay)
By In 2009, 4,340 workers lost their lives due to fatal occupational injuries in the USA. We examine which jobs are the most dangerous, the risks of each occupation and what you can expect to get paid for potentially putting yourself in harm's way. And if you decide you want to go after one of these jobs, make sure you're covered by term life insurance before you send in your resume.

Glad you included military........
I don't think that pilot pay stat is entirely accurate. Regional pilots make about 18k a year starting on. I think the median is closer to 60k.
This chart falsely incorrectly states "shooting deaths accounted for ... 12% of all fatalities in the USA'. This is just absurdly incorrect, or just incompetently worded.
According to http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm about 2.4M people in US die each year.
According to http://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/fatal.html about 13K people die from voilet gun death (Homicide and Legal intervention). The total number of gun deaths was 31K (including accidental, suicides, etc), but let's go with 13K as that seems to be the point of the graphic.
13K out of 2.4M is 0.5%. The graphic is off by a factor of 24! I'm not trying to make a 2nd amendment argument here - I actually believe fewer guns would be better. The poster simply needs to not have such a blatant error. What other statistics up here are wrong?
Wonder why they didn't include falls in the for the pilots and engineers... Just sayin'...
worst Infographic ever
Was it too hard for them to actually put how much the average person in this profession made?
Pointless
Umm I'm sorry where are the soldiers?
Perfect exemple of a bad infographic.
It's colorfull and pretty but the information it contains is hard to analyse, difficult to compare and suffer gross approximation.
In my opinion.
It seems that one needs to separate "Fatalities" from "Deaths". While the fatalities are included somewhere in the death statistics from the CDC, the two are not synonymous. On the other hand, one could have a fatal heart attack. Maybe they just need to use a different term than "Fatalities".
