Oftentimes, Alaska is excluded from these rankings, because anything done in Alaska is so much deadlier than normal that the chart basically just becomes "Jobs Done in Alaska".

Based on these bars, my guess is that Alaska was left in.

Management, business and financial operations would be much higher if deaths induced by stress and mental health issues were included.

rate for office work would be higher if you added the complications from being full-time sedentary

I woukd have thought being a Clinton's political enemy would be higher on that list.

I saw a chart quite a few years ago where this was broken out quite a bit more.

If I remember right, the most dangerous profession was convenience store clerk, and next was taxi driver.
