Here is an update to the deadliest jobs story:

Very interesting how they turn the stats into graphics and they ask three questions
The first graph shows the Job with most fatalities (Fishers) with more than 131 deaths per 100k. Waaaay down at the bottom were female oriented jobs like social services and retail work from between 1 per 100k and .5 per 100k in deaths.
It also shows salaries. So the fisherman is making about 35k and far more likely to die then the retail person making about 20k, and making less then a social worker making about 40k.
Screw the wage gap, we need to talk about the statistic called the "death gap"
