上表也證實(shí)了韋博的觀察——在伐木工之后，最危險(xiǎn)的工作當(dāng)屬漁民和相關(guān)漁業(yè)工作者。2014年，該工種的死亡率為每10萬(wàn)人中死亡80人，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高于各工種3.4/100,000的平均死亡率——順便說(shuō)一句，這個(gè)平均死亡率也比2013年的3.3/100,000稍有提高。

在這個(gè)榜單上排名前五名的職業(yè)，與2013年相比并無(wú)任何變化。而與建筑、駕駛和維修有關(guān)的職業(yè)的排名則稍有浮動(dòng)。警察的排名則由2013年的第17名上升到了第15名。2014年，美國(guó)總共有97名警察因公死亡，不過(guò)相比于2011年多達(dá)130名警察犧牲的情況，還是有所下降。

不過(guò)這里要特別提醒的是，這張表格是根據(jù)死亡率而非死亡人數(shù)編制的，伐木工的死亡率雖高，但死亡的絕對(duì)人數(shù)卻比不上其他人口龐大的職業(yè)。比如當(dāng)年卡車(chē)司機(jī)和農(nóng)民的死亡人數(shù)分別達(dá)到880人和270人。

2014年，美國(guó)因工傷致死的人員總數(shù)達(dá)到了4,821人，略高于去年9月初步統(tǒng)計(jì)的4,679人的數(shù)據(jù)。今年12月，美國(guó)勞工統(tǒng)計(jì)局將發(fā)布2015年因工傷死亡的普查數(shù)據(jù)。

The list corroborates Webb’s observation—after loggers, the second deadliest job belongs to fishers and other fishing workers, with 80 fatal injuries per 100,000 workers in 2014. That’s far higher than the average for all civilians of 3.4 fatal injuries per 100,000 workers; that average is up slightly from 3.3 in 2013.

The five most dangerous occupations remained unchanged from their 2013 ranking, while jobs involving construction, driving and repairs shifted slightly. Police officers became the 15th most dangerous job, up from 17th in 2013. But 2014’s 97 police deaths still remains below the 130 fatalities seen in 2011.

While the table ranks occupations by fatality rates, the total number of deaths for loggers is dwarfed by the number of fatalities for larger occupations, like truck drivers and farmers, which saw 880 and 270 deaths respectively.

In all, there were a total of 4,821 fatal work injuries in the U.S. in 2014, slightly higher than the preliminary figure of 4,679 reported last September. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the 2015 census of fatal work injuries in December 2016.
