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.

It is common for new traders to focus on making money and becoming wealthy as quickly as possible. As a result of this mindset, they learn about various strategies and approaches that come with the promise of making a quick fortune.

The majority of these amateurs are unaware of the greatest irony in the exchange market. That is, the more they chase after money, the more vulnerable they become to losses.

Instead of concentrating on making money, they should instead concentrate on the various components of the exchange market. They should learn how to understand and use these parts.

One such skill is risk management, which assists sellers and buyers in understanding and mitigating various risks. Now let’s learn some advanced techniques by which we can scale down our risk exposure and trade the market in a disciplined way.

How far are you willing to go to get a job? More than half of us admit to lying on our resumes at some point — about 51% of women and 60% of men.

That could have been as many as 42.5 million people in 2022, according to a survey of more than 1,700 Americans by StandOut CV. The resume services company asked people who were employed or who had previously been employed about lying on resumes, about their references or in interviews.

Certain types of lies were especially common, the survey found. Here are the most common resume lies and the percentages of people who admit to them:

• Previous work experience: 55.4%
• Skills: 43.1%
• College degree (or equivalent): 41%
• Personal details (age, location, name): 39.5%
• High school details: 39.2%
• Salary information: 33.6%
• Job-specific software or equipment skills: 33.5%
• Employer references: 21%

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.
