And what are the jobs deadlier than you'd expect? Time was we'd have noted "fishermen," but that's now common knowledge.
So try sanitation workers, who likewise have a fatality rate higher
than that for cops. But also roofers, farmers, and even airline pilots,
who despite the cliche that flying is safer than driving, experience deaths on the job at a rate nearly four times that of armed civil servants.
Why are these occupations consistently compared to that of a police
officer? Because "police officer," most surprising of all, comes in at
number ten.
