Some people are dying to get to work. Literally!)
"If you want to reduce your chances of dying on the job, don't drive on the highway in connection with your work in fields or forests. Fatal work injuries from highway accidents accounted for the highest number of deaths in 2003: 1,350 out of a total of 5,559 job-related fatalities last year in the United States. The number of work-related deaths was highest in the construction trade: 1,126. But the fatality rate was greatest in the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting sector: 31.2 deaths for every 100,000 workers."
