Yeah, I guess we'll just ignore the "fatality rate" given and assume that there are an equal number of miners as there are government workers or businessmen.

ATG, I normally respect your ridiculous statements, but here you've even provided the rebuttal.

It doesn't appear so if you are looking at the fatality rate.. the total number probably has to do with the fact that there is a lot more bankers than miners.

We all know what happens when things go bad for bankers.

Add China and Russia to the list and miner deaths grow exponentially.

I bet it the stress has resulted in more heart related issues rather than suicide.

I bet every convenience store clerk considers themselves a sales supervisor.

Yeah...that would make a lot more sense, actually. I'll go back to the corner now.

the thread title and the statement made is just an example of a failure in reading basic statistics, i.e. not realizing that it's all relative.

is it really surprising that, in total, more bankers die from work-related injuries, in a country with a vastly downsized mining industry? no.
