Almost everyone complains about their job on occasion. But if you’re a logger, miner or truck driver, you might have greater concerns than most.

These are among the most dangerous jobs in America, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest annual report on fatal occupational injuries, which reflects data from 2021.

In total, there were 5,190 work-related deaths recorded in the United States that year — and that was the highest annual number since 2016.

Transportation incidents accounted for 1,982 of those work-related deaths. These were, by far, the most frequent type, comprising 38.2% of all work-related deaths.

Other causes for work-related deaths include falls, slips and trips; violence and other injuries by a person or animal; contact with objects and equipment, such as being struck by a falling object; and exposure to harmful substances or environments.

Got a passion you want to pursue? Or want to break out of the 9-to-5 routine, be your own boss and achieve your ideal work-life balance? A side hustle might be just the ticket.

“While earning potential varies greatly based on factors like your work experience, career field and industry, there are high-paying side jobs that make it possible to earn as much as or more than a full-time role,” writes Toni Frana, career services manager at FlexJobs, in an email to Money Talks News.

As of October 2022, the median wage for full-time workers is $1,070 weekly, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some side-hustlers say they earn at least that or much more working just 10 to 15 hours a week — once their gig takes off.
