What are the most dangerous jobs?

I grew up on an apple ranch, so it doesn't surprise me that agricultural jobs are among the most dangerous.

Two deaths, I remember, occurred from tractor accidents. Also, a teenager was killed when he was changing sprinklers with his dad. He was playing with a long sprinkler pipe, balancing it in the air. It struck an electrical line, and he was electrocuted.

The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries reports total workplace injuries decreased by 6 percent in 2007, according to "Is Your Job the Most Dangerous?" on AOL Find a Job. In the United States, 5,488 fatal work injuries were recorded during 2007.

The following 10 occupations had the highest fatality rates, deaths per 100,000 workers, in 2007:

1. Fishing and related fishing workers — Fatality rate: 111.8

A surprise. Government is listed as among the most dangerous industries.
