America's Most Dangerous Jobs
Laura Morsch, CareerBuilder.com writer
For many of us, the most dangerous part of the workday is the commute
-- followed closely by teetering on stiletto heels.

Nationwide, most employees have a miniscule chance of being killed at
work. There were just four fatal occupational injuries per 100,000
workers in the United States in 2005, according to preliminary data
from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That, of course, is just the average. For some workers -- soldiers in
combat, for example -- every day is a life-threatening one. But on the
domestic front, the most dangerous jobs are less obvious.


Presidents:

8 died while in office...4 from natural causes and 4 by assassination.

If you just use the number who have been assassinated, that's 4 out of
43...for a mortality rate of 9,302 (per 100,000 workers).

Average salary: $400,000.

At least it pays well.
