# Workplace Fatalities Charts The Jobs That Could Kill You Infographic Documents Risky Occupations By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-06-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jobs-that-could-kill-you References: [holykaw.alltop](http://holykaw.alltop.com/jobs-that-could-kill-you-infographic) & [becomecareer](http://www.becomecareer.com/risky-jobs/) If you're curious to see how dangerous your career is compared to what others do everyday then the Jobs That Could Kill You [infographic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charts-not-chapters) will be an enlightening, and paranoia-inducing, read. According to the graphic, composed by BecomeCareer.com, fisherman are the most likely to be killed while on the job; with a documented death rate of 71 per 100,000 workers. Unfortunately, however, the [annual average salary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takehomepaycity) of a fisherman is only $27,880 -- leading one to wonder if the risk is worth the reward. While the chart lists many occupations that experience high-death tolls from airline attendants and pilots to coal miners, it also states that [unemployment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/growth-job) can be a risky business as well. Unemployed males have a 78 per cent likelihood of dying due to the stress of trying to provide for their families, with lethargy and overindulgence in vices also being cited as leading causes of death while one is out of work. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Occupational Risk Assessment:** Emerging trend of evaluating and mitigating risks to workers in hazardous jobs. - **Workplace Safety Training:** Increasing demand for training programs to improve safety measures and reduce workplace fatalities. - **Automation in Hazardous Industries:** Growing adoption of automation and robotics in industries that have high risk of workplace fatalities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fishing Industry:** Opportunity to invest in developing safer fishing methods and equipment to reduce fatalities. - **Mining Industry:** Opportunity to develop and implement advanced safety technologies in mines to prevent fatalities and injuries. - **Unemployment Support Services:** Opportunity to provide mental health and well-being support to unemployed individuals to reduce the likelihood of stress-related deaths. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Workplace Fatalities-Preventing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-safety-council.md) - [$100K Summer Swimming Jobs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimply-100k-swimming-job.md) - [Career Decision Dashboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perspectives.md) - [High-Risk Roadway Identification Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highrisk-roadway.md) - [Anti-Productivity Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quiet-quitter.md) - [Humorous Macabre Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-office-chair.md) - [Job-Themed Obstacle Courses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jobstacle-course.md) - [Layoff-Tracking Job Connectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/layoff-tracker.md) - [AI Replacement Probability Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/will-ai-replace-me.md)
