Worked to death: Homicides, accidents are on rise on the job, U.S. notes By Jay Fitzgerald, Boston Herald
Truckers, fishermen, construction workers and loggers face some of the most deadly jobs in America, according to a grisly new government report that also shows workplace homicides on the rise again.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said yesterday that 5,559 people died last year while on the job, slightly higher than 2002's 5,534 count.
In raw numbers, the construction industry was the most fatal sector, with 1,126 workers killed in 2003. The transportation industry, which includes trucking, was the second-deadliest, with 805 fatalities, followed by the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting category, with 707 deaths.------------------------------------------- posted 10:02 AM :: reference link ::
