Top 10 most dangerous jobs in America

Jen writes "Top 10 most dangerous jobs in America

"Loggers and fishermen faced the most daunting odds of dying at work in 2002, but the highways remained the most dangerous place for American workers...."

"....But highway accidents were the biggest overall killer in 2002, accounting for a quarter of all worker deaths. Falls killed 13%. Men were still, by far, the most likely to be killed on the job. Ninety-two percent of all workplace fatalities were male."

"Among the 441 women who died on the job, though, the chief cause of death was homicide. "

Ok, I would like to know why that last bit had to be stuck on there. It's like they are saying "Even though way more men die, it is men's fault for the women dying, and that is more important. " Grrr."
