Over 90% of Workplace Fatalities Are Males in Minnesota

Why men earn more: the cost. From the Minnesota workplace safety report (.pdf) for 2010: Men accounted for 91 percent of fatally injured workers in 2010 and for 92 percent of the fatalities from 2003 through 2010. The percentage of men among fatally-injured workers remains at 92 percent for 2003 through 2010 even after excluding fatalities to farmers and ranchers, who accounted for 71 percent of fatalities to self-employed workers.

Women protest if they think they're not getting paid enough, but don't protest if they're not dying enough.

I wonder why.

Perhaps it's because men die more than they get paid more. If we could just increase the female death rate, why they'd get paid more. Nah, it's much easier to sue and blame discrimination than take the risks men take to earn an paycheck.
